Occupational licensing laws affect more Michigan workers than any other labor law — and they often do more harm than good. If you care about expanding opportunity, lowering costs and making Michigan a more attractive place to work and live, this event is for you. Learn from experienced advocates and policy leaders about how smart reforms can unleash entrepreneurship, help families thrive and improve access to rewarding jobs.
During COVID-19, Michigan had the worst lockdowns in the country. Five years later, we still have dozens of laws that allow state officials to establish emergency authority to act unilaterally. Join us for lunch and a panel discussion on the need for and use of emergency powers, including their inherent danger, and the need to protect the rule of law, separation of powers and civil liberties.
Join us as Engaged Detroit, the Mackinac Center and Parent Advocates for Choice in Education (PACE), along with other key organizations and community members, host this education “unconference” in Detroit. Parents in Detroit and beyond are demanding more educational options for their children whose needs aren’t being met by their current school. Participants will have the opportunity to converse with lawmakers, thought leaders and parents dedicated to expanding educational options and improving student outcomes.

If you’re concerned about how policy changes affect drug availability and healthcare affordability, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Join us for an evening of fellowship among friends of liberty.
