Time is running out!

Bring a friend, make a sign, and meet up in Ferndale on Tuesday, July 6 at 7:00 PM to show support for the passage of S1, the For the People Act!
You’ll hear from speakers about the importance of this bill to the future of democracy. Together we’ll urge Senators Stabenow and Peters to make S1 a priority and to make sure nothing gets in the way-including the filibuster!
