Last month our nation was struck by two acts of domestic terrorism – a racially-motivated shooting in Buffalo. NY, and a school shooting in Uvalde,TX.  And Republicans keep telling us that gun violence is just a fact of life.

Mourning kids gunned down at school is not how we have to live.  Grandmothers getting shot at the grocery store is not 'just how it has to be.'

We are not powerless. Our grief and our anger can be put to use.

Weep. Be outraged.  And vote.

From the schoolboard to the statehouse, vote. Vote like our lives depended on it.  

Find a candidate to support. Take a friend to the polls. Vote.

Together we can win in November and make real change.  For good.

Help save democracy by learning the words that work with Anat Shenker-Osorio on June 22. In Words to Win Our Future, Michiganders will learn how to put the right on their heels by exposing their dog whistle attacks on good government and how to persuide with our hopeful vision for a future where everyone thrives.

Anat will share both high level principles for persuasion as well as concrete examples of proven  messages, ads, and social media that win. 

Co-sponsored by the WCDP, the Liberal Leadership League, and We Make Michigan.
