What We're Doing


Michiganders Deserve Transparency!

Campaign

Michiganders Deserve Transparency!

Our government can only work when the public is able to stay informed and able to hold their leaders accountable.
Stop HJR B

Legislation

Stop HJR B

HJR B is Michigan's version of the federal SAVE Act — both would gut voter registration and block voters. The proposed requirement of documentary proof of citizenship in order to vote would disenfranchise millions of Republican, Democratic, and independent voters who do not have passports, birth certificates, or other forms of identification required under the legislation.
