GRIID weekly audio digest – #4

In the fourth installment of the GRIID audio digest, we bring you the following six stories from this week: 

• Local news coverage leading up to Schurr’s trial has been influenced by his lawyers, experts, a failure to provide community voices and a pro-GRPD bias 
• Grand Rapids Clergy sign a statement of confession to work for justice 
• Linc Up partners with Movimiento Cosecha to declare themselves a sanctuary space for undocumented immigrants 
• Rep. DeSana announced legislation in Grand Rapids on Monday that would provide greater legal protections for cops at the same time the Schurr trial began 
• Before Trump arrives in Macomb, Michigan today, he received a letter from Senators Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin saying they want to work with him 
• Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce video is filled with misinformation, crafted moments and self-serving commentary by Dick DeVos
