WeROC’s Voter Rights Action Team is looking for volunteers August 3 for the election in Ypsilanti Township. We’ll hand out flyers and educate voters on the alarming efforts underway in Michigan to restrict voting access for future elections. The August elections attract motivated voters, so this is a rare opportunity. To help out, email Rita Turner, turnersheerin@yahoo.com.

The Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission will be holding a public hearing tomorrow night in Jackson. These hearings will be incredibly important as the commission works to draw up new districts in the states moving forward. The public comment is essential in getting rid of the gerrymandered districts that we currently have. An example of this is that it would seem to make more sense for Washtenaw county to be in a district with other neighboring counties like Jackson (both are part of the HVALF). Ann Arbor is currently paired with Detroit's western suburbs in an effort to limit the number of progressive seats in the state. Hopefully, the public comments will lead to more sensible maps. We wanted to encourage all of our Washtenaw county folks to attend this meeting either in person or online. You can find more information below:

Moses Statement on Chauvin verdict:
We take a deep breath after Chauvin’s guilty verdict on all counts as a turning point in a system of injustice and lack of accountability that has plagued our country for too long.
But true justice would be a country where we can all feel safe in our communities and live without fear that those sworn to serve and protect will kill us just for existing. We all want to be free to safely walk in our neighborhoods, play in our yards or sleep in our beds without fear of the police.

As you may well know, due to a successful ballot initiative the post-census redistricting in the state of Michigan will no longer be done by the political party in power but rather by a non-partisan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission.
The Voter Registration, Education, and Mobilization (VREM) Committee of the Sigma Rho Graduate Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is hosting a workshop on the current redistricting process in the state of Michigan. A representative from Voters Not Politicians, the citizen's group that spearheaded the ballot initiative, will conduct the workshop. They will review how redistricting was done in the past, how it will be done going forward, and how citizens like us can have input into the process to make sure our communities are heard, and our communities are fairly represented in the redistricting process.
Our virtual event will take place over Zoom on Monday, April 19, 2021, from 7-8:30 pm. We will have plenty of time for Q&A. Register in advance for this meeting at:
