Downriver Young Democrats go to Lansing

LANSING - The Downriver Young Democrats traveled to Lansing today to join in peaceful protests against Governor Rick Snyder's Budget, and a package of Emergency Financial Manager bills that would galvanize local governments and compromise worker rights.

The protest is the second such protest in two days. Attendance has been estimated to be around 3,000 to 4,000. The DYD traveled alongside UAW Region 1A union members. No DYD members were among the 11 arrested late Wednesday.

Below is video recapping the DYD's experience. Please feel free to share.
