ICE Out For Good Funding Fight Weekly Phonebank
- March 3, 2026
- 1:00 pm
- 3:00 pm
Our communities are being terrorized by masked federal agents. They’re teargassing babies, kidnapping our neighbors, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles, and killing innocent people.
We have an opportunity to rein in ICE and Border Patrol at the federal level. Congress is currently negotiating funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which includes ICE and Border Patrol. We are demanding our Members of Congress write a bill that stops the violence in our communities and holds ICE and Border Patrol agents accountable. This is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on these agencies and ensure they don’t get a single penny more to enable their brutality.
Join us every Tuesday at 1 p.m. EST while DHS funding is being negotiated to engage voters in key states and encourage them to call their Members of Congress and tell them to hold the line and demand that ICE’s terror tactics be stopped for Good.

Christina is running for Congress in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, which is the only open, toss-up seat in Michigan.
The last time this seat was open, the Democratic Nominee narrowly lost by 0.5%, but Gov. Whitmer, SOS Benson, and AG Nessel all won the district: that’s why we know when we come together, we can flip this seat and help Democrats take back majority in the U.S. House!

Join us for a meet-the-candidate night. With the upcoming April 19 MDP Convention, we want to make sure candidates have an opportunity to connect with members before the convention.
NOTE: Beginning in April, our meetings will shift back toward the activism, organizing, and issue-focused programming we centered last year. We will continue to welcome candidates, but they will not be the primary focus again until we move further into election season. We’re excited to balance electoral engagement with the grassroots work that powers it.
We are now featuring a “Little Activist Corner” – bring your little ones with you to the meeting.

MDR Campus Outreach Meeting
- March 12, 2026
- 7:00 pm
- 8:00 pm
From Brandon & the election team:
The purpose of the meeting is to explore – and hopefully get the ball rolling on – how Macomb Defenders Rising can connect with existing student groups on college campuses throughout Metro-Detroit.
As MDR starts to become a political power bloc in its own right, we should be looking for ways to support other types organizations that share our values – especially if they’re operating within spaces that we don’t travel in our day to day lives.
The far-right has made pro-active efforts to reach out to Gen-Z voters – a strategy which, unfortunately, paid off in 2024. Just over one year later this same support is collapsing – a recent YouGov poll showed a 67% disapproval of Trump among these same voters – a tidal wave 20 point shift. (https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/donald-trump-approval-rating-gen-161415601.html)
MDR should be making pro-active efforts to reach out to young people, and get them involved in the pro-democracy movement. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we should aim to connect with existing student-led movement, and find ways to lend them the considerable support that MDR has to offer.
