Please get vaccinated if you have not done so already, and please keep talking to your friends and relatives about the vaccine. The stress it takes out of your life, and the renewed ability to see your loved ones really makes all the difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Throughout this crisis, Detroiters have shown the grit and resilience we’re famous for. Now that we’re reopening, we can begin to re-engage in the activities we love. But we must be vigilant. There are still many Detroit communities that have not yet been vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

Recently, this was the site of a memorial to those we lost to COVID in Detroit. Today, it’s an island of celebration, thanks in large part to the strong leadership of Governor Whitmer and our state's Chief Medical Executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Today I joined Governor Whitmer and state officials at Belle Isle to mark the lifting of most COVID-19 restrictions in Michigan. https://t.co/HqPJZ4cxZE — PolitiTweet.org

This #Juneteenth weekend, I was happy to take part in the one-year celebration & ribbon-cutting of Good Vibes, a minority woman-owned bar and lounge on Detroit’s east side. Small businesses like these power Detroit's economy, not only providing jobs, but also a place to hang out! https://t.co/PVDHv7qHt4 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Our creative community brings great value and vibrancy to our city. Last week, I was proud to join @DetroitACES Director Rochelle Riley and Marygrove Conservancy to announce a first-ever creative economy census and a partnership to expand arts & culture in our neighborhoods. https://t.co/77NIwMfp0B — PolitiTweet.org

In 1971, when Detroit was recovering from the violence of the 60s, "What's going on" came out and as a teenager in Detroit, I knew this song was for us. Today, I am honored to join the Gaye family in announcing that this section of W. Outer Dr. will forever be Marvin Gaye Dr. https://t.co/Cc3uGvtOxQ — PolitiTweet.org

Not only did he choose to open his business on W. McNichols in Detroit, he's hiring Detroiters. Jeffrey's story is another great example of how opportunity is rising in our city and how Detroiters are rebuilding Detroit, in this case, one cookie at a time. #opportunityrising — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I always love helping to open yet another Motor City Match business, but when they have "Good Cookies," it's even better. I have tremendous appreciation for entrepreneurs like Jeffrey, who followed through on his dream, even though COVID-19 has made the journey more difficult. https://t.co/VNsfvKrvRV — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow, we celebrate Juneteenth, or Freedom Day as part of an ongoing march toward true freedom and equality. I encourage Detroiters to participate in the many events hosted by @crio_detroit and ACE in partnership with the Charles H Wright Museum and many others this year. https://t.co/DkLId3ICSP — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I encourage everyone to visit https://t.co/kr74iWBWuY to see if you or someone you know qualifies. There’s a tool to help families who don’t normally file taxes make sure they receive this benefit. Together, we can work to eliminate child poverty in Detroit. #opportunityrising — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

With this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cut childhood poverty in half, parents can receive up to $3,600 per child under the age of 6, and $3000 for each child between ages 6-17. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Yesterday, I was proud to join a broad coalition of leaders including Kresge Foundation and United Way of Southeast Michigan to launch a campaign to ensure that every eligible Detroit family has access to the child tax credit portion of the American Rescue Plan. https://t.co/GkJYQ6B7mg — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

This pledge is part of a larger $40 billion commitment they are making to disadvantaged and underserved communities in our country, and I was especially proud that they chose our city to make such an important announcement. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Today, they announced a $1 billion commitment to Detroit and Wayne County to address the long-standing issues of racial and social inequity when it comes to access to funds for home loans, small businesses and community development in communities of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

So instead of building a new Detroit headquarters for 500 TCF employees, they are building a headquarters for 800 Huntington employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I wasn't sure how to feel when Gary Torgow and Steve Steinour first announced the TCF-Huntington merger because of what's happened historically with business leaving and taking people out of the city. But the first thing they said was it’s not going to be one or the other. (1/4) https://t.co/LB1DRSsUYS — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Today we joined partners @Human_I_T, newly housed at Detroit's @Focus_Hope, to kick off a new campaign to take 1,000 laptop computers from businesses that otherwise might have ended up in landfills and instead, provide them to Detroit families who need them. https://t.co/Oin0XAd9Te — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Inequality has been an issue in this country since its founding, and the digital divide threatens to make the issue of inequality even greater. Those who are connected to the Internet have better opportunities for schools, jobs and housing, among other things. https://t.co/ghCGjOr71s — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The city of Detroit this year will double the number of inspectors looking at scrapyards, and if this bill is passed into law, they’ll be all the more effective in protecting Detroiters and the environment we live in. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

More than 300 scrapyards and used car yards operate in Detroit, and while many comply with environmental laws and regulations, sadly many do not. Today, I joined Rep. Karen Whitsett for the announcement of a bill that would increase fines for those who engage in unlawful dumping. https://t.co/LhwgpMnF3e — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Every production job at the Stellantis plant not already committed to an existing UAW worker has gone to a Detroit resident and hiring is still underway. #opportunityrising https://t.co/nqNPHxtzHk — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I have authorized 4,000 overtime hours per weekend for our officers to ensure a major increase in police presence, in addition to the 2,000 hours for drifting and speeding. Anyone who violates our laws and endangers our communities will be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Detroiters should not have to tolerate dangerous behavior from people bringing trouble to Detroit. Police Chief James White’s 5-Point Summer Crowd Management Plan will address these issues along with other common concerns such as loud music and disruptive activities past curfew. https://t.co/FCejgKJNof — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Last Juneteenth, we unveiled the "Power to the People" mural, which was featured in the @DycOfficial video "Glory." This year, GM is helping Dr. Massey and his students repaint the mural, which will remain a part of our city for years to come. https://t.co/nElS4ftv3W https://t.co/s0gGczS4X6 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The benefits of early education are undeniable. That’s why we’re proposing a city Office of Early Childhood Education - every child should have the opportunity to succeed. I was proud to join @GovWhitmer today as we work to ensure that every 4-year-old in MI has access to Pre-K. https://t.co/6pIdsW2kAo — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The new Ruth Ellis Center will provide comfort and support for homeless members of our LGBTQ+ community, ages 13-30. It will also provide a health clinic and community gathering space thanks, in part, to the support it is receiving from our Dept. of Housing & Revitalization. https://t.co/7ZIK5nQDxO — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

When you're ready, we'll be ready. https://t.co/xhgWyNiMNR — PolitiTweet.org

For the next month, Detroit is participating in the US Mayor's challenge to get more people vaccinated against Covid-19. In Detroit, our Health Department already has done an fantastic job brining the vaccine into neighborhoods. Now, they've stepped up their game even more. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

As our city comes back, Detroiters who stayed will continue to be our highest priority. (4/4) — PolitiTweet.org
