FUTR Action – MI (Families United for Trans Rights) is a group of Michigan families and their supporters galvanized to protect our transgender and non-binary children. We have selected a slate of carefully vetted candidates in key Michigan state House and Senate races.
Local and state politics matter. There are currently 28 bills proposed in the MI state legislature targeting our LGBTQ+ family members, friends, colleagues, and neighbors. Instead of working on real issues, politicians are spending our resources to stoke culture war flames, often with our children in their crosshairs.
The candidates we’ve chosen support equal rights and freedoms for all Michiganders. They will protect our children and have the moral compass to stand strong. These are key competitive races that can help Democrats hold the Senate and flip the House. With our support, they can win.
