Save Democracy in Detroit and Michigan. Stop Emergency Managers, protect voting rights and help spur our local economy.

Chairman David Bullock of the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party of Michigan, concerned citizens, and the people of Michigan are fighting against Emergency Managers. Governor Rick Snyder's Administration has appointed emergency managers in cities and school districts across Michigan. These emergency managers have unilateral control over all aspects of government, deny voting rights, block collective bargaining rights and balance budgets by selling assets and cutting fire and police. We need the federal government to intervene and protect voting rights. Additionally, we need the government to promote job creation, spur growth of the local economy, focus on education and worker retraining programs, reform banking and health care institutions.

PETITION - Location for Public Hearings and Open Meetings Act

A petition has been setup requesting Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh abide by the Michigan Open Meetings Act. The location for public hearings and council of the whole meetings within the Coleman A Young Municipal Center should be the Erma Henderson Auditorium. Attendance at these events continues to exceed the capacity of room 1340, placing people waiting outside the overflow room and in the hall with the elevators. In neither location are people waiting able to observe the proceedings of the meeting taking place.

Sign The Petition

The Erma Henderson Auditorium is the proper location for these meetings and has been repeatedly stated during public comments. Violations of the Michigan Open Meetings Act are punishable misdemeanors which when repeated could lead to imprisonment in addition to fines. The people shall continue to organize in protest and you will be served for having failed to abide by the law.
