Mayor Duggan & City Council: Stand with Muslims, Immigrants, & Refugees Against Federal Attacks
Tell Mayor Mike Duggan and Detroit's City Council to make immediate and unequivocal statements of solidarity with Muslims and immigrants, denouncing the recent attacks on their human and civil rights, and pledging to work in opposition to the discriminatory and predatory policies of the Trump administration.
Why is this important?
The City of Detroit is home to a robust and vibrant set of communities, including diverse communities of immigrants, many of whom are asylum seekers, many of whom are Muslims, and many of whom are from the Middle-East or predominantly Muslim countries, and are thereby threatened by the increasingly aggressive and discriminatory policies of the Trump administration.
As well, the City of Detroit is a self-governing political entity that owes its responsibility to its citizens, to the constitution of the State of Michigan and to the constitution of the United States.
As such, the City of Detroit and its representatives are not only entitled to oppose unconstitutional and unethical actions taken at the federal and state levels, but are morally responsible to do so in the interests of the people of the Detroit.
*Neither the Mayor of Detroit, Mike Duggan, or the Mayor's Chief of Staff, Alexis Wiley, make their emails or office phone numbers available to the public. As such, a petition such as this, cannot be directly or easily delivered. This petition will most easily reach City Council Pres. Hon. Brenda Jones.
