Decriminalize Houselessness

Kalamazoo Police Department, city attorney and prosecutor must stop racial profiling and drop trumped-up charges. City and county government must address systemic racism both within their ranks, in how they interact with the community and through the policies and projects they implement.

Implement "Breathe Act" Nationally

Hear the Stories of Black Community

Divest federal resources from incarceration and policing. Invest in new, non-punitive, non-carceral approaches to community safety that lead states to shrink their criminal-legal systems and center the protection of Black lives—including Black mothers, Black trans people, and Black women. Allocate new money to build healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities. Hold political leaders to their promises and enhance the self-determination of all Black communities.

Demilitarize Schools

Black students say that police in schools do not make them feel safer and that they are racially profiled by police in schools.

Statistically, Black children are suspended, expelled and arrested at school at a much higher rate than their peers for similar infractions. Black children are more likely to experience violence at the hands of police in schools.

Black Lives Matter Michigan supports students, parents and teachers who are demanding fewer cops and more counselors in schools as well as curricula that promote student agency in shaping policy and systems to dismantle the school to prison pipeline.

Political Education

Demilitarize Schools

Election 20XX is an invitation, an incitement, a call-to-action to people in Michigan to educate yourself on the issues that will affect you and your family’s future. Examine critically every candidate, envision yourself as a leader, and to be engaged deeply in transforming systems at every level of political jurisdiction. Every election matters. What seats must be won in our communities to ensure our leaders fight for our children’s education, for keeping us safe, and provide the public services that matter most?

Bail Reform

Flint Water Crisis

Black Lives Matter is a member of the Movement for Black Lives and the National Bailout Collective. One of our priorities is ending money bail so that Black people who have not been convicted of a crime are not confined in prison facilities because they cannot afford bail. Bail outs are a key component of our broader strategy to build the power of local organizations so they can implement community based support systems that replace cages.

Money Bail is Unjust and Should End

Flint Water Crisis

Black Lives Matter Michigan stands with our friends and family in Flint in the ongoing fight for safe and clean drinking water. People and organizations around the nation have stepped up where Governor Snyder and his administration have fallen ridiculously short in repairing the harm they caused during the state's emergency management of Flint. The State of Michigan owes Flint residents the dedication to deliver bottled water until pipes are replaced, trust is rebuilt and people have confidence that their drinking water is no longer poisoned.
