The harm this admin. is inflicting on our communities is causing devastating damage, but as Rep. @salinas.house.gov emphasized we must work together to hold this admin. accountable and protect our communities. We appreciate her powerful words during our #HispanicHeritageMonth panel.

Big moment for #EmergeAlums! ICYMI, Emerge alum candidate for U.S. Senate @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social endorsed Emerge alum Amanda Treppa to take over her seat in the MI State Senate. This is exactly what “lifting as you climb” looks like: Emerge women supporting each other every step of the way. ✨

#EmergeAlum Endorsing #EmergeAlum!
Tweet from @MalloryMcMorrow:
"Today I'm endorsing @AmandaTreppa to be my successor in the State Senate. I trust her wholeheartedly to put people first, lead with heart and integrity, and break through the gridlock to deliver for Oakland and Macomb residents and all Michiganders.
