Greetings - Happy Monday! Following up on my below email re: MICRC public hearings and public comment participation. Let me know if you’re willing to help us spread the word with Libraries in Michigan’s members and community and I’m happy to provide additional
resources such as draft newsletter or social media language. </p>

Just want to reiterate how exciting this opportunity is and how grateful our office is for your assistance. For the first time ever, Michigan residents have a say in what our state’s electoral district lines look like and can help ensure a fair and transparent
redistricting process. Our office encourages residents from all areas of the state to provide input to the Commission – including MI residents from areas not in direct proximity to the hearing locations (all hearing dates and locations are listed in my below
email). </p>
