Econonmic Boycotts

These large companies have faced significant pressure to dismantle their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and initiatives. This retreat from commitment raises concerns about the progress made in fostering inclusive environments within the workplace. DEI efforts have been instrumental in addressing systemic inequalities and creating opportunities for underrepresented groups. The pushback against these initiatives not only undermines the hard work and dedication of those advocating for equity but also threatens to reverse the strides made towards a more just society. It is crucial to stand firm in the face of adversity and continue to champion the values of diversity and inclusion. WE WON’T GO BACK!

Town Hall with Representative Jack Bergman

March 22nd, 1:00pm, Milliken Auditorium

Traverse Indivisible and Leelanau Indivisible have invited Representative Bergman to attend. He hasn't held a town hall in eight years so he may not attend, but we will hold the event with or without him. The event will be run in a town hall format, with lots of time planned for participants to ask questions of Rep. Bergman and to tell your stories about how the Trump administration has impacted issues that are important to you and our community.

The event will last 90 minutes, with a social gathering in the Dennos Museum afterwards. The press will be invited to the event, and we plan to have it both live-streamed and recorded.

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

The State of Michigan occupies the ancestral, traditional and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabek - Three Fires Confederacy, the Odawa (Ottawa), Ojibwa (Chippewa), and Bode’wadmi (Potawatomi). The Michigan Democratic Party recognizes historic Indigenous communities in Michigan, and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands.  We further recognize the ongoing relationship of dependence upon, and respect for, all living beings of earth, sky and water.  In offering this land acknowledgement we affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history and experiences.
