Dylan Wegela has won his election to the Michigan State House! Dylan helped organize one of the largest teacher strikes in U.S. history in 2018, and he’s ready to bring @detroitdsa’s fight for universal healthcare and affordable housing to the State House.

We are out here working hard to elect @AbdulElSayed. I am so inspired that I will finally be able to vote for a MI senate candidate who supports Medicare for All, ending endless wars, stop funding the genocide the Palestinian people + protecting our water and air. #MedicareforAll #FreePalestine

Metro Detroit DSA endorses Cory Ferriby for Lenox Township Trustee!
Cory is a democratic socialist running to fight mass surveillance & data centers in rural Macomb. He is running on a platform of restoring transparency to a Township government long plagued by corruption.

We want to give a HUGE congratulations to our friend, comrade, and now State Representative-Elect Chris Gilmer-Hill on his win against an incumbent Democrat!
District 8 recognized that if you want someone to fight for you and stand up to corporations, you elect a socialist.

State Rep. Helena Scott is ok with throwing Trans people, Women, Black and Brown people to the wolves just because she'd rather lose to a republican than support a candidate with policies that prioritize the Working Class.
Vote for Chris Gilmer-Hill (@313CGH) on August 4th.

DSA is proud to endorse @313CGH for Michigan’s State House.
As a lifelong Detroiter, environmental activist, and union member, Chris is running to hold corrupt utility companies like DTE accountable and to make life more affordable for all. Chris is ready to fight for housing protections, single-payer healthcare, and for publicly owned utilities – because Chris knows that workers deserve more.

@ShriThanedar I see how you are pushing attacks rooted in racism.
Shri, post your campaign report! Show your residents who funds YOU.
Donavan didn't take a dime from corporations for his congressional campaign BUT YOU DID.
VOTE SHRI OUT.
The Democratic primary in #MI13 is getting particularly nasty.
Rep. Shri Thanedar is out with a new ad labeling his primary challenger, state Rep. Donavan McKinney, “dirty money McKinney.”
The ad goes after McKinney’s progressive cred, saying he is “not fooling anyone.”

For all the money DTE and Blue Cross gives her, you’d think Helena Scott would have a less creepy van.
She’s running against Chris Gilmer-Hill @313CGH who does NOT take any DTE or Blue Cross money.
The primary is on August 4th!
