Thank you to all who attended Unity Fund’s Politics of Pride event on June 8th! Our donors— you are the key to supporting our efforts and to making a difference for Michigan’s LGBTQ+ community. During the event, we received a very encouraging and motivating six-month update from the public officials Unity Fund endorsed in the 2022 elections. In Lansing, State Representatives Noah Arbit, Jason Hoskins, Mike McFall, and Jason Morgan are members of several key State House committees and working on numerous initiatives to move Michigan forward. They have introduced many bills on both LGBTQ+ and other issues, including the landmark amendment to the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to protect the civil rights of the LGBTQ+ community. State Senator Jeremy Moss, now President Pro Tempore of the Michigan Senate, continues leading the way on issues from LGBTQ+ rights to ethics and elections, delivering even more on his longstanding promise to champion our community’s issues and well-being. In Oakland County, the Honorable Amanda J. Shelton, the first openly-identifying lesbian elected to countywide office, is ensuring that all individuals who come before her at the Oakland Circuit Court are treated fairly and respectfully and that the law is applied without prejudice. Oakland County Commissioner Brendan Johnson, following in the footsteps of LGBTQ+ former county commissioners like Dave Coulter and Craig Covey, is focused on ensuring the county's policies are both progressive and inclusive. Unity Fund’s support of these individuals as candidates in 2022 was both critical and, ultimately, successful. We invite you to join us as we continue to grow our organization and our efforts to increase the impact Unity Fund will have on both Michigan’s LGBTQ+ community and Michigan’s politics. Supporting candidates running for office at all levels and across all three branches of government, including those who will soon be seeking reelection, is vital to both goals

The Primary Election is almost here! The Unity Fund team wishes our endorsed candidates who are facing a primary all the best on August 2nd. Check out our candidates' spotlight statements on equality, representation, and LGBTQ+ issues!
