From 1999 to 2002, Belda Garza served in the Michigan House of Representatives, representing what was then the state’s 8th district. At the turn of the century, Michigan’s 8th district contained much of Southwest Detroit, an area of the city with a substantial Latinx population that continues to thrive there to this day. Garza was the first — and remains the only — Latinx immigrant elected to represent a part of the state that is largely made up of people just like her.
In a September 26 article in MiBiz, written by Kate Carlson, the Grand Rapids-based news publication spoke with state of Michigan nonprofits and organizations regarding the need for more virtual events.
Earlier this summer, 2021, a bipartisan statewide bill was introduced to give temporary relief to charitable gaming events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Effectively, the bill would temporarily waive fees and expand the ability to hold specific nonprofit events that include games of chance. In these scenarios, the participants would use imitation money or chips, similar to a casino.

LANSING, Mich. — A lot is at stake in Michigan in the upcoming 2020 Census, which makes ensuring a complete count of all Michigan residents an imperative. Historically, the Census has missed disproportionate numbers of racial minorities, immigrants, young children and those living in poverty (hard-to-count populations) leading to inequality in political power and government funding. To help ensure a complete count in the 2020 Census, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) is leading the 2020 Nonprofits Count Campaign to encourage members of traditionally hard-to-count populations to participate in the upcoming 2020 Census. The campaign was launched with seed funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and support from the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF).
