2/ Huge thanks to Mary Cavanagh for making this issue a priority for the finance, insurance and consumer protection committee! And so grateful to work with Rep. Tonya Myers Phillips who introduced the same bill in the House!

1/ Last week, the Michigan Senate passed SB 423 with almost unanimous support! My legislation will allow county treasurers to continue to run tax foreclosure prevention programs like Pay As You Stay and the Interest Reduction Stipulated Payment Agreement plans. #mileg #housing

If you or someone you know is in need of food resources -- please check out the resource list below that my team has compiled.

Also, 2-1-1 is an excellent resource to call for food & other resources.

1/ URGENT UPDATE: Lue Yang, Khone Sengmany and others are currently on a plane that left a Louisiana ICE staging facility overnight and will eventually land in Laos -- but we believe it is still in the United States. 🧵

3/ Ended the day at "Reimagine Everything: The Grace Lee Boggs 10-Year Memorial Tribute". No better way to end #NoKings than honoring Grace and reflecting on her lessons and legacy for today's crises and movements.✊️❤️

2/ I participated in #NoKings protests in Livonia and Detroit today and am feeling hopeful for our future after seeing the creativity, energy, multigenerational activism, and solidarity on full display today.

Please take a couple minutes today or tomorrow to contact the Governor and your own State legislators.

Let them know we need to maintain supports for Michigan's immigrant communities and reject anti-immigrant language in the budget!

Take action to #BringLueHome and stop his deportation by ICE. We are urging Governor Whitmer to pardon Hmong community leader Lue Yang's 3 decades old conviction so he can stay in Michigan with his family.

TAKE ACTION UPDATE: Lue and Khamsay are both still at the ICE private detention facility in Baldwin, Michigan.

Call or email ICE's Detroit Field Office today and urge them to #keepfamiliestogether and not deport Lue, Khamsay, and other Hmong and Lao refugees.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, we learned today that 15 of the individuals from Michigan and Ohio arrived in Laos today. We are glad they arrived safely, but they should *not* have been separated from their families here in America.

Immigrants and refugees seeking the American Dream deserve opportunity and dignity, just like every other American. Now is the time for us to come together as Michiganders -- it'll take all of us to restore the rights and opportunities our neighbors deserve. ##keepfamiliestogether

The Hmong refugees being held by ICE came here decades ago and have built their families, contributed to their communities, and are beloved community leaders. We must keep immigrant and refugee families together.

We are calling on ICE to stop the deportations of Michigan Hmong refugees and to allow them to return home to their families. America owes a debt of gratitude to the Hmong people for their role in protecting U.S. troops during the Vietnam War.

Today, 28 Michigan elected officials sent a letter to ICE Detroit Field Director Kevin Raycraft, urging him not to deport the Hmong refugees. It is devastating to hear the stories of refugees whose deportation would take away fathers, mothers, grandfathers, taxpayers, workers, community leaders.🧵

Take action by calling the ICE Detroit Field Office. 📞

Proud to stand with State Representative Mai Xiong, Sam Singh, and Emily Dievendorf today calling for dignity, transparency, and justice for Hmong refugees facing deportation.

Lue Yang is a hardworking father and community leader in the Lansing area ...🧵

Take action today to support Michigan's Hmong refugees facing deportation.

Call ICE's Detroit Field Office today.

Palestinians are starving -- even babies. Over 1000 people have been killed in Gaza just trying to get food. Around 60,000 Palestinians have been killed during this war.

Today, I talked with the Girls Making Change fellows about the legislative process and turning an idea into a bill! I shared two examples of bills I passed that came directly from the community. We had a great discussion about education and literacy! I can't wait for their community action project!

Happy Fourth of July!

Let's keep working to make America the best it can be so that we truly embody the values of opportunity, equity, justice and access.
