‘Progress for the People’ Town Hall, November 15th in Warren

Note: This is a private event. Security screening on arrival. No bags, weapons or beverage containers permitted into the event.

All attendees will need to have a government issued proof of identification to enter the event.

Since January, President Trump and Republicans in Congress have pushed policies that cut essential services and increase the cost of health care, groceries, utilities, student loans, and more — all while handing massive tax breaks to corporations and the ultra-wealthy. This summer’s Republican budget law threatens working families in Michigan and across the country. Now, Republicans have shut down the government rather than deal with skyrocketing health care costs and other chaos caused by this White House.

The town hall will feature testimonials from local residents and a question and answer session with special guests including Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) and Rep. Becca Balint (VT-at large). Local organizations will also share information about support services for families facing cuts and ways to get engaged. Warren, MI is currently represented in Congress by Rep. John James who declined to attend the event.

This town hall is part of a series of community-led Progress for the People town halls in districts across the country. These town halls provide residents with practical tools, information, and strategies to understand and respond to federal policies impacting health care, education, cost of living, climate, and labor rights.

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.

Michigan United Condemn’s the Taylor Police Department’s Agreement with ICE, Citing Community Harm and Legal Risk

TAYLOR, MI – In response to the Taylor Police Department entering into an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Adonis Flores, Training Director at Michigan United, issued the following statement:

““We are deeply disturbed by the Taylor Police Department’s decision to partner with ICE through the 287(g) Task Force model, the most aggressive and problematic form of this federal program. This agreement invites racial profiling, wastes local tax dollars, and endangers the safety and trust of our communities.

“Taylor is choosing to spend its own local resources to do ICE’s work, without reimbursement, while risking costly legal liability and violating residents’ constitutional rights. This policy undermines public safety by driving immigrant families into the shadows and discouraging victims and witnesses from coming forward.

“The Task Force model was rightly discontinued in 2012 after the Department of Justice exposed widespread racial profiling and civil rights violations. Reviving it now, under pressure from Trump’s latest executive orders, is not about safety. This is about fear and control.

“By voluntarily participating in this program, the Taylor police department is complicit with an administration that disregards court orders and violates the Constitutional right to due process, as evidenced by the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father legally present in the U.S. who was kidnapped by ICE and sent to a concentration camp in a foreign country, without due process.

“We call on Taylor police and city government officials to uphold the constitutional rights of its residents and refuse to collaborate with a president who has no respect for the Constitution. The Taylor City Council must immediately review and rescind this agreement.

“Michigan’s communities are strongest when we invest in trust, not in surveillance and deportation. Every local leader should stand up against this harmful collaboration and affirm that everyone, regardless of immigration status, deserves dignity, safety, and justice.”
