One of Many Good Reasons to Attend Tuesday’s Protest Against Governor Snyder
As we reported last week, a Michigan Stand for Democracy protest is planned for Tuesday, September 13, in front of the WOOD-TV 8 facility on College Avenue just north of Cherry Street. The protest will now begin at 6:30 PM.
The event is to protest Governor Snyder’s policies, his presence in Grand Rapids. It will take place during Wood-TV 8 “town hall” broadcast with Snyder.
Here’s a reminder of one of the violations against the democratic process that Snyder and his legislature have perpetrated since his election. It’s an excellent short film that was created by Michigan Forward titled “Dictators Over Communities of Color.” The 7-minute film recaps Snyder’s changes to the Emergency Financial Manager law, and shows in particular how minority communities are being targeted by Public Act 4.
Take a look, and plan to attend the protest at 6:30 PM on September 13.
