Let's Talk About the Protests at the Michigan State Capitol with Organizer Ashley Ann
We talk with the founder of Michigan United for Liberty, a group that was created in response to what they view as an infringement on our constitutional rights. The group has organized many protests at the State Capitol in the last month and also have a lawsuit filed against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer challenging the authority she has to make executive orders during emergencies.
Ashley wants to make clear what her group's intentions are, dispel some of the rumors that are circulating, and denounce many of the negative narratives surrounding these protests including racist displays, violent rhetoric, and the very Trump like rally displays. We and our viewers ask her some tough questions and challenge her to include the most marginalized communities, especially the Black and Brown communities, in their thought process surrounding the plans for easing the stay at home orders.
