"The SEIU surveyed nearly 50 security officers in downtown Detroit and found that officers can earn as little as $22,000. Nearly half of the officers surveyed say they rely on public assistance to make ends meet, while a quarter note that have to work two jobs to support themselves and their families."

"The same people who secure these downtown buildings are the ones who lived here and stayed here during the city’s greatest struggles. . . .

All working families [deserve] the opportunity to participate in Detroit’s resurgence and thrive with at least a $15 hourly wage."

"Detroit's rebound has helped bring back a key industry: private security. . . . However, many of the security officers who keep downtown safe for others are unable to enjoy the benefits of the same prosperity they help secure."

"Two years ago today, Trump's Supreme Court stripped away the constitutionally protected reproductive rights of hundreds of millions of Americans with their decision to reverse the Dobbs decision. Since then we have seen politicians hostile to reproductive rights continue their attacks to rob people of their power to control their bodies and personal health care decisions with restrictive bans across the country. Here in Virginia, Governor Youngkin and Republicans in the legislature utilized this decision as an opportunity to propose a 15-week ban in 2023 -- a decision which was met with immense pushback and first defeated at the legislative level, and then once again at the ballot box with my election and Democrats regaining majorities in the General Assembly"

"Thank you for putting your faith in me, Virginia. I promise you this is just the beginning."

"As we move closer to the reality of bringing a referendum to the citizens of Petersburg, we are asking the voters of today to make an economic development decision that will affect the City for decades to come.

"Stop negligence on Government projects. This morning I visited Rwamabondo HCIII and there was a building that was constructed by Kibatsi Development Association, but the verandah has been destroyed yet there is leadership around and they are not bothered at all. People think that there is no government, please Government starts with you. Maintain every project that is brought to you by the Government. Recently I was at Kitondo H/CII and I observed that the ceiling of that building around there was made of plywood which cannot even last for two years, this is normally done by the constructors due to connivance and lack of supervision by our leaders who are on ground. Stop misusing Government funds. I call upon every leader at whatever level to do your work and role so that we can leave a legacy for our people."

People stop misleading the world through wrong information, stop the mentality of half empty, let’s always appreciate and give credit to what government has done in our areas, let us stop demoralizing our technical staff who are trying to serve."

"Two out of three ain’t bad South Africans are continuously singing the same tune to the DA, to borrow from the artist Meatloaf “I want you, I need you, but there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you”. But unlike South Africans Meatloaf goes on to say, “but two out of three ain’t bad”"
