Our next monthly meeting will take place Saturday, April 5th, at 10:00 a.m.
Royal Oak Community Center
3500 Marais Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48073
We will be joined by Charlie Cavell of Fund MI Future, the Michigan League of Conservation Voters and One Fair Wage Michigan!
Fund MI Future is a joint effort of non-partisan community organizations, unions of working people and policy experts striving to create shared prosperity for all Michiganders by fully and fairly funding our public services. Charlie will speak regarding the upcoming state graduated income tax ballot proposal - making the wealthy pay their fair share, getting big money out of Michigan politics and uplifting working families.
Secondly, we will be joined by Amanda Costello from Michigan League of Conservation Voters on ways to hold congressional Republicans accountable to help stop the rollback of environmental protections.
Lastly, we will be joined by Sam Taub of One Fair Wage Michigan. One Fair Wage is a nonprofit dedicated to raising wages for all tipped workers throughout the country. They are currently gathering volunteers in order to engage in a veto referendum on Senate Bill 08 which was passed on February 21st. "We believe that this legislation is harmful to tipped workers as it maintains the same two tiered wage system that creates the instability and insecurity that tipped workers in our state have been trying to do away with since 2018. We are also partnering with another organization to stop the adopt and amend practices that got us in this situation by proposing a constitutional amendment that would codify that that practice is inherently antidemocratic."
