Donald Trump's re-election is a blow to democracy and a serious threat to our communities, but Michigan United Action remains resolute. Having mobilized tens of thousands of Michiganders this election season through canvass operations across Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and the Upper Peninsula, we will now work to turn this vast network of contacts into a powerful, organized base to combat the creeping fascism threatening our communities.

At Michigan United Action, we see Election Day as a punctuation mark, rather than the end of the story. The next four years will be a fight to save democracy. This means non-violent resistance and a robust plan to take governing power. We are clear-eyed that to affect real change we need members of the multiracial working class, not billionaires or authoritarian nationalists, represented at all levels of government. This means everyday people like you running for office and taking governing power. Running for office doesn't require a fancy resume or deep knowledge of the political system. We are looking for candidates who will make our democracy more reflective of Michiganders, particularly women, people of color, LGBTQ+, disabled, and working class people - hospitality workers, manufacturing industrialists, self employed, and even the unemployed.
