The Committee to Honor Cesar Chavez’s Cinco de Mayo celebration is an amazing celebration honoring the legacy of César Chávez and celebrating the strength, culture, and contributions of West Michigan’s Latino community.
Huge thank you to Lupe Ramos and the entire committee who hosts this labor of love each year!

Last week, I welcomed @gewhitmer to the 82nd to learn more about Mel Trotter’s Hope Village project 🏡💬
These new builds—led by Mel Trotter Ministries and Next Step of West Michigan—will be affordable housing for neighbors who have experienced homelessness. This will be Grand Rapids’ first tiny home community, and a powerful example of what’s possible when we focus on dignity and innovation in housing.💛

☕️ Thank you to everyone who joined me at our April Community Coffee Hour! The last few months we have been joined by so many neighbors who are committed to addressing issues and working together. Thank you for being engaged!
A special thank you to That Early Bird for being such wonderful hosts. Already looking forward to our May gathering!

Last year I visited @ayayouthcollective with the attorney general to learn more about their work. At that visit they highlighted the lack of funding for homeless teens and the huge barrier it’s been to keeping kids off the street. I knew I wanted to help.
Fast forward to this week I had the honor of joining AYA Youth Collective to celebrate the groundbreaking of their first-ever home build — a major milestone in the fight against youth homelessness.
When it’s finished in about six months, this house will give five young people a safe, stable place to call home.
Grateful for the work AYA is doing to create real opportunities and a stronger future for our community. Proud to stand with them as they continue making hope a reality.

I want to give a huge thank you to the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness for inviting me to stop by this week and their innovative work around housing. 🏠
Housing is the foundation for everything: education, health, employment, stability, and wealth.
Ending homelessness means thinking bigger — not just managing crisis but building a full housing cycle that works for everyone.
We must rebuild our housing system by working together and focusing on things like- cutting housing costs, being innovative with the types of housing we incentivize, and prioritizing home ownership opportunities to name a few.
I look forward to working together!

It was an honor to convene in New Orleans with passionate, brilliant leaders from across the country at the BLLN National Leadership Summit. We met several legends and looked at where we are headed in the future. Im grateful for the connections, the knowledge shared, and the collective energy to keep moving forward. 🖤✊🏾

Today closes out Black Maternal Health Week. Black mothers are 2-3 times more likely to die of preventable emergencies during birth and pregnancy. I have personally sat with the children of my constituents mourning the fact that their mother is no longer with us. Seeing the pain of a child who will never know their mother is crushing, but knowing it was preventable is unbearable.
Let’s continue doing the work of closing the disparity gap in healthcare and ensuring that Black mothers are here to grow old with their families ❤️🧸
