Unpacking Michigan’s budget and its impact on our communities
Join us TODAY, Friday, September 12th at 12:30 PM EST for VAAC’s Friday Community Meeting — a welcoming space where directly impacted people, organizers, and allies learn, strategize, and act together. This week, we’ll unpack Michigan’s proposed state budget and what it means for our communities.
What we’ll cover:
- How the budget works: Who decides, what’s funded, and the timeline
- Impacts on daily life: housing, reentry, voting access, education, and healthcare
- Action paths: practical ways to raise your voice and move decision-makers
Featured voices:
Chuck Warpehoski, Program Director at MI-CEMI
Tony Gant, Policy Consultant & Advocate for Justice-Impacted Communities
