Friends,

Hundreds of extremists stormed capitol buildings in Lansing on Thursday -- breaking social distancing guidelines, armed with deadly weapons, and carrying signs with words of racism, anti-Semitism, and sexism.

And President Trump sided with these "very good people":

"The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal."--realDonaldTrump

Trump's words enable behavior that threatens us all during a time when staying home and following science-driven prevention methods will save thousands of lives.

Governor Whitmer has provided stable, responsible measures to keep Michiganders safe -- and she needs us to stand with her now more than ever. Sign on to thank Governor Whitmer for her life-saving leadership and show her you have her back.

We're all in this together,
