Salaam,
Emgage Action is proud to announce its support for the Listen to Michigan campaign in Michigan, echoing the voices of local leaders and communities in demanding a change in policy regarding Gaza. This campaign stands as a testament to the power of civic engagement and the importance of holding leadership accountable to the values of justice, peace, and human dignity.
The Listen to Michigan campaign, a grassroots effort supported by numerous community leaders and elected officials in Michigan, encourages the people of Michigan to vote 'uncommitted' in tomorrow's elections. Emgage Action underscores the critical role of Arab American and Muslim votes, asserting that elected officials must heed their call for a ceasefire, restore UNRWA funding, increase aid to Palestinians, and halt unconditional aid to Israel, lest they risk losing our communities' electoral support.
Our support for the Listen to Michigan campaign is a clear message that our communities are deeply invested in the pursuit of policies that honor our commitment to peace and humanity. Our voices matter, and we will ensure they are heard through actions that align with our principles.
In line with our mission, our Michigan team has been activating voters through extensive phone banking, digital outreach, and canvassing doors. We have made
46,000 calls, and sent 120,000 text messages in support of the Listen to Michigan campaign.
One last phone bank will take place today at 6:00 PM EST- 8:00 PM EST; please register here. We believe that participation in these civic activities is crucial for advocating for policy changes that reflect our community's values and priorities.
Please make sure to vote tomorrow to ensure that our voices are represented in these elections. You may find your polling location here.
Michigan's primary is tomorrow, but our efforts do not stop there. We are committed to extending this initiative across all swing states to maximize our impact. Together, we can make our voices heard and influence the path toward justice and peace.
