At the request of an activist friend, I spoke at a recent Ann Arbor City Council meeting on the issue of #racism & #housing, which I care deeply about. During my speech, Council Member Kathy Griswold made rude gestures at me. She didn't know I make campaign videos professionally.
I looked further & found a very concerning pattern of atrocious behavior by some on council. Kathy Griswold ate & texted & CM Jeff Hayner had a lengthy 8 PM phone call while Dr. Lisa Jackson, police oversight chair, spoke about police complacency with lynchings of Black men.
I started reviewing older city council meetings. Council Member Jane Lumm, who is up against Linh Song in the August 4 election, agrees with Trump that Ann Arbor police should turn immigrants over to ICE. Abusive police have done this to citizens in Grand Rapids. #a2council
It definitely isn't just immigration, CM Lumm agrees with Trump's horrifying position on housing.
In addition to zoning/housing and local police-ICE cooperation, Ann Arbor City Council Member Jane Lumm also agrees with Trump about the budget, health care, and adding more police for traffic enforcement and property crimes. She's up for reelection against Linh Song on August 4.
Lumm is not alone on council. CM Jack Eaton also has continuously called for more police, since long before there was any civilian oversight.
He has also spent the last year making racist comparisons of renters to chickens in "jokes" with CMs Kathy Griswold and Elizabeth Nelson.

In a bizarre clip, Council Member Anne Bannister pretends that lawns, which are absolutely terrible for the environment, are environmentally friendly. She does this to push the same agenda as Trump on housing: defending segregationist housing policy.
Ann Arbor deserves better.
Ann Arbor deserves better.
