The annual Michigan United convention — Saturday, Oct. 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Parish Hall (4500 Wesson, Detroit) — is an opportunity to highlight and reflect on the efforts achieved  over the past year in bringing us closer to attain justice and together, build the way forward for the year to come. This year, MI United  has invited many of our elected officials so they can hear our voice and see our power as we demand better lives for our communities.

There will be many phenomenal workshops for you to sharpen your analysis and learn about critical new issues. Our very own TAKE ON HATE representatives will lead a workshop called #NotMyAmerica. The goal is to bring our voices in combating anti-black, Muslim, immigrant, Latino, refugee sentiment together to discuss challenges our communities are facing and how presidential candidates’ racist statements play a role.

Take advantage of this free opportunity! Click here to register for the convention: https://act.myngp.com/Forms/NoScript/-1637075387846424576.
