IGGR In The News
In case you missed it, you can listen to the conversation WGVU reporter David Limbaugh recently had with Becky Palmer and Mary Gleiter here.
No Kings Rally - Two Ways to Raise Your Voice on Saturday!
We’re clearly getting under Trump’s skin too with Indivisible’s, 50501 and other organizations organized and peaceful protests planned across the country - and even overseas - for Saturday. Today, in Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters From an American she reports:
“In the Oval Office today, Trump said of the military parade scheduled for this Saturday: “If there’s any protester wants to come out, they will be met with very big force…. For those people that want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force.”
Let’s call his bluff. If you haven’t yet registered for either No Kings Rally in Grand Rapids Saturday morning you can do so via the following buttons. Please know that IGGR and 50501 are working together on these rallies so feel free to attend one or both - whatever you can do to show the Trump administration that we do not accept Kings. We choose Democracy and the Rule of Law.
Senator Slotkin says WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
IGGR volunteers recently attended a call with Anne Brown, Elissa Slotkin’s Deputy State Director. She shared the following:
· 48% of Michigan’s budget is Federal dollars
· Slotkin’s office is getting 6-7,000 calls a day
· They are getting hundreds of letters a day
· Lots of Seniors are making calls (go Elders go!)
Keep making the calls, keep sending the letters & notes and also tell her to keep fighting, don’t give up Slotkin.senate.gov for info and how to contact her.
