Who Are Gray Panthers?
We are older and younger people. We are an intergenerational, non-profit peace and social justice organization with members in Southeast Michigan, including Detroit and the Counties of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb. We work on issues which affect people of all ages: universal health care, peace, strengthening Social Security and Medicare, challenging descrimination, education reform, economic justice, fair labor practices and campaign finance reform. Join us!

Doctors, nurses and other health workers are my heroes! They risk their lives to protect us all from the scourge of the Coronavirus-19. Congress adopted a $2.3 trillion CARES ACT aid package to help both businesses and consumers with a historic economic crisis triggered by this world-wide pandemic.

Unfortunately, our President doesn’t seem to understand -- or care enough -- to set realistic goals for getting our nation back on its feet. Instead of requiring every state to issue stay at home orders and require social distancing, he says it's up to states to decide. He even suggested that perhaps we could drink cleaning solutions (chug of Lysol anyone?) to get rid of the virus so we can go back to work by the end of this month. Why does this sound like #45 cares more about business than the health of us all?
