Ready to mobilize? Join us on April 19, 2026
in Detroit for the MDP Convention!.

Tired of the political status quo? 

Want your voice and views to be heard, welcomed, and embraced? 

Done yelling at a locked door when you want to be let in?  

Let’s open those doors together. If you don’t believe that more of the same will result in positive change, then you should join us!

More information on the Michigan Democratic Party (MDP) Convention Races:

The People’s Coalition is working, with your support, to build an inclusive coalition that unites progressives, marginalized communities, and grassroots organizers in the fight for a just future. We have seen the significant impact our united voices made during the August 2024 and February 2025 Michigan Democratic Party (MDP) Conventions. We are now more organized and our voices are even stronger. We will have a bigger impact during the April 2026 Convention, and we need you to do it.

At the upcoming MDP Convention in April 2026 in Detroit, registered Party members will vote in a primary-style election for crucial Michigan elected leadership roles, including:

  • Attorney General

  • Secretary of State

  • State Board of Education

  • University of Michigan Board of Regents

  • Wayne State University Board of Governors

  • Michigan State University Board of Trustees

We have seen the importance of these roles and the influence they have on the lives of everyday Michiganders. It’s essential for our communities, especially marginalized communities, to be involved in these processes so our values are reflected in candidates that will work to represent and serve all of us come the November 2026 General Election.

If we don’t show up at the April Convention in Detroit to vote, our candidates don’t make it to the November ballot!

You MUST be a MDP member at least 30 days prior to the convention (by 3/19/2026) to be able to vote in these critical races. If you're willing to mobilize with our coalition, there are three important steps: 

  • Step One - Sign up to be a MDP member HERE (free)

    • All information that is collected will be used to make sure you are a member of the MDP, and will be kept private.

  • Step Two: Mark your calendar for Sunday, April 19 2026 in Detroit.

    • Get your friends and family members to register too. Only those who register AND attend in-person can vote!

  • Step Three: Consider donating to ensure we can mobilize and support our endorsed candidates!

    • We will have several endorsed candidates; Eli Savit for Attorney General and other candidates in key races, including a UM Regent candidate who will stand up for our communities (more news to come). Your donation will enable these important tools; flyers, mailers, busing needs, and other essential organizing and convention related costs. We need money now to be able to successfully win!

    • Please DONATE HERE. 

If you’re able to volunteer to support our movement and our mobilizing effort towards the Convention, please sign up HERE.
