Detroit Action stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. By signing this petition, you are standing with us in holding our state government accountable in recognizing that Black lives have and will continue to matter. We need policy to reflect the following demands of the Black Lives Matter movement and we can't do it without you:
- We demand acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police.
- We call for radical, sustainable solutions that affirm the prosperity of Black lives.
- We call for an end to the systemic racism that allows this culture of corruption to go unchecked and our lives to be taken.
- We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive. If you're with us, add your name to the petition right now and help us spread the word.
We also encourage you to call Governor Whitmer at 517-373-3400 and 517-335-7858 to voice these demands.
