What to Know About Today’s Protests in Michigan
Michigan residents gathered at the State Capitol to hold their protest known as Operation Gridlock. Protests took place both in and outside of people’s cars. Michiganders did not mice words, noting the imperative nature of rights, freedoms, and liberties.
While protesting, residents of the state also pointed out Governor Whitmer’s lack of measures to preserve economic health and physical health. Others noted the flaws of adopting a one-size-fits-all approach to local issues.
