Unpacking Michigan’s budget and its impact on our communities

Join VAAC for our next Friday Community Meeting—a welcoming space for directly impacted people, organizers, and allies to learn, strategize, and take action together. This week, we’ll unpack Michigan’s proposed state budget and what it means for our communities.

What we’ll cover on September 12th:

• 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:

• Tony Gant — Policy Consultant & Advocate for Justice-Impacted Communities
• Chuck Warpehoski — Program Director at MI-CEMI
