Thousands of people from all over Michigan are converging on our state Capitol today to protest the governor’s restrictive “Stay Home” order and get their voices, and car horns, heard. #OperationGridlock

They’re upset the governor is thinking in terms of what jobs are “essential” or “non-essential,” instead of considering whether a job can be done safely. If workers are able to use proper social distancing practices on the job, we believe they should be able to earn a living.

The governor’s one-size-fits-all approach also is causing frustration. Since different regions of the state are experiencing varying levels of exposure, why doesn't the governor take a more regional approach to her order?

Lastly, people are upset because they believe the restrictive order is taking away their fundamental civil liberties and freedoms.
