Hundreds March to End Gun Violence by Katheryn Krupa

This Friday, hundreds of teachers, bus drivers, social workers and other MEA delegates poured from the convention hall and marched en masse to the Capitol Building in Lansing during the MEA spring convention. Dressed in orange, we marched through the streets chanting "No more silence, end school violence!" After delivering huge stacks of petitions to legislators, we posed alongside Michael Moore on the Capitol steps - how exciting! Gretchen Whitmer (candidate for Governor) gave a rousing speech as well.  Some good news was that our MEA budget has been trimmed across the board saving union members thousands of dollars in costs. As we left the hall late Saturday, I was proud to hear that over $10,000 had been raised by the delegates for political action (MEA PAC)!
