by Ken Palmer, February 5, 2025
"Speakers generally did not identify themselves as part of a particular political organization, but they included State Sen. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, who spoke of protecting #LGBTQ rights, and Abdul El-Sayed, director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services, who said he was acting in a personal capacity.
"'(It's) about damn time that we showed up, stood up and took our goverment back,' said El-Sayed, who railed against Trump's actions to freeze federal money for things such as #HealthCenters, #MentalHealthServices and the #WIC program, or Special Supplmental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.
"Another speaker urged protestors to 'flood the phone lines' of elected officials to register their concerns.
"'A lot of us are here because we understand the danger we are facing, and we know that today is the time to act,' she said. 'We will not sit on the sidelines and watch as our rights are ripped way and the billionnaires dismantle our democracy, stripping it for parts.'"
