John,

I want to take a moment to recognize that February is Black History Month.

During this month, we should take time to recognize and celebrate Black Americans’ many contributions and their sacrifice and bravery on their journey to justice in our nation. We must work together to identify, develop, and promote solutions to further achieve equity in our great state of Michigan.

Since day one, Lt. Governor Gilchrist and I have been committed to fighting racial injustice in our state.

This includes creating the Michigan Coronavirus Task Force on Racial Disparities which successfully reduced the spread of COVID-19 in communities of color, saving countless lives to signing historic bipartisan legislation to reform Michigan’s criminal justice system, giving thousands of people a “Clean Slate” and access to more opportunities.

There’s so much work to still be done, but together, we can continue the fight against white supremacy and racial injustice in our country.

Let’s get it done,

Gretchen
