Why Working Together Matters Now More Than Ever

Michigan, like many states, is facing ongoing efforts to restrict voting access, spread misinformation, and create barriers to civic participation—challenges that disproportionately impact justice-impacted individuals, who are often excluded from the very policy discussions that shape their lives.

With the 2026 elections on the horizon, decisions being made right now will determine the future of voting rights, civic engagement, criminal justice reform, and other critical issues for years to come.
