SW Michigan Rising Up

Our group focuses on four core values: Human and Civil Rights, Education, our Environment, and Health. Because each of these issues transcends party lines, we consider ourselves a trans-partisan group. We favor inclusive solutions that consider multiple political party perspectives, and believe in the power of collaboration and varying points of view. We strive to preserve laws that protect the rights of all humans and the earth that we share, and to peacefully resist attempts to oppress or suppress marginalized groups, individuals, or information.
