Hi John xxxxxx,

Her Bold Move is excited to endorse Alyshia Dyer, who is running for Sheriff in Washtenaw County, Michigan. If she wins, she will not only be the first woman Sheriff in her county’s history but also the first Democratic woman to be elected Sheriff in the entire state of Michigan.

Alyshia Dyer is the ONLY candidate in her race with law enforcement experience and is running a progressive campaign to reduce harm – she wants to make policing safer. Will you help us support her campaign by donating $20.24 or more today?

In 2022, the current sheriff and his administration tried to install approx. 70 license plate readers around the county. The plan was for the license plate reader companies to then share information with anti-choice states. Thankfully, Dyer led a coalition to fight back.

She has already been standing up for the people of Washtenaw County and fighting to protect reproductive freedom nationwide. Here’s a look at some more of Alyshia’s priorities:

• Stopping heavy-handed traffic enforcement that has caused significant racial disparities at the Sheriff's Office. Research has shown that this practice harms Black women at higher rates than their counterparts, especially when it comes to paying fines and fees to the legal system.

• Changing the demographics of the police force. Having a mostly white and male police force has resulted in ineffective and insensitive responses to domestic violence, particularly for Black and Brown women. Officers will say that they “don’t see injuries,” not understanding how bruising and harm can show up on different skin colors. This needs to change.

• Implementing in-person jail visitation. She also wants to ban solitary confinement for pregnant women and root out sexual harassment in jails, which impacts women officers and incarcerated women.

Alyshia Dyer is a homegrown candidate with boots-on-the-ground experience. She’s ready to take down the administration that has been in power for 16 years and bring real and bold change to her county. We are thrilled to be supporting her. Will you join us by donating $20.24 or more to support her campaign today?

Let’s do this,
