Coming 9/6: Identifying Triggers 2 — Our Back-to-School Mental Health Awareness Rally and Concert

Join us at Saginaw Middle School on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025, for Identifying Triggers 2: Back-to-School Mental Health Awareness Rally & Concert. From 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., we’ll come together at 3100 Webber St., Saginaw, to lift up youth and families with resources, conversation and community.

Presented by Michigan United, The Remnant Org, Saginaw Public Schools, Solutions Behavioral Health, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated – Saginaw Chapter, the event features a powerhouse panel: Brian Pruitt, George Copeland, Dr. Pamela Pugh, Dr. Twannie Gray, Assegid Mersha and Ken Whittaker. Hear practical strategies for recognizing triggers and supporting mental wellness as school begins.

Enjoy live music from international recording artist Sharrie Williams and local talent. Bring the whole family for raffles and school supply giveaways, free food, free haircuts, paint therapy, yoga therapy, and a Kids Zone with games and face painting.

Thanks to Solutions Behavioral Health, two full scholarships will be awarded to uninsured individuals for one year of treatment.

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.
