MU in Action

Mark your calendar! On Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025, Michigan United and community partners invite you to Identifying Triggers 2: Back-to-School Mental Health Awareness Rally & Concert at Saginaw Middle School, 3100 Webber St. Join us from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. as we celebrate youth and families with resources, conversation, and community care.

Presented in partnership with The Remnant Org, Saginaw Public Schools, Solutions Behavioral Health, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated – Saginaw Chapter, this event features a dynamic panel: Brian Pruitt, George Copeland, Dr. Pamela Pugh,

Dr. Twannie Gray, Assegid Mersha, and Ken Whittaker. Together, they’ll share strategies for recognizing triggers and strengthening mental wellness at the start of the school year.

The day will also include live music from international recording artist Sharrie Williams alongside talented local performers. Families can enjoy raffles and school supply giveaways, free food, free haircuts, paint therapy, yoga therapy, and a Kids Zone with games and face painting.

Thanks to the generosity of Solutions Behavioral Health, two full scholarships will be awarded to uninsured individuals, providing one year of treatment at no cost.

Mop Up Michigan

Michigan’s government should work for people, not powerful corporations.

Whether you’ve got five minutes or five hours, your time matters. We’re going to need volunteers to collect signatures, knock doors, spread the word, and help bring this ballot initiative to life.

Care Over Cost

We hold health insurers accountable for covered but unpaid benefits. Together, we are working to transform our health care system to put people over profit.

Transformative Justice

We believe that we can keep our communities safe from crime and reduce the number of people in prison. We're working to reform the policies of the police, schools, prosecutors, as well as reform sentencing guidelines and improve release services.

Election Protection

We're on a mission to safeguard the integrity of every election, ensuring that the democratic process remains fair, accessible, and representative of all voices.

Immigrant Rights

Join us in our fight for a brighter future, where every person, regardless of their immigration status, is afforded the same rights, opportunities, and respect as any other Michigander.
