Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 03/07/2026This year’s state budget is far from perfect, but we made sure that the critical programs and services Michiganders rely on were included. 010
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Generations of Black families have shaped our communities and strengthened our economy. Freedom Day is a time to reflect on the progress made, to review lessons learned and to recommit to the pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice. Happy Juneteenth! 040
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Today, June 11th, I reintroduced The Renters’ Bill of Rights, a comprehensive set of reforms designed to strengthen housing stability, promote safe and habitable housing, and ensure that renters are treated with dignity and fairness. 420
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I voted NO on House Bills 4466-4468, because this bill package poses a major health risk to thousands of Michigan youth. If passed, this bill would effectively criminalize gender-affirming care (GAC), a well established form of evidence-based medical care which has saved countless lives. 4103
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Today, I introduced HB 5951 to limit the use of chemical weapons and kinetic energy projectiles against protestors. Michiganders have a constitutional right to peacefully assemble and make their voices heard. #MiLeg 141
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Federal law already protects consumers from extra loud commercials on cable and broadcast television, but those protections have not kept pace with the shift to streaming. HB 5924 brings those same protections to streaming services, where most people watch today. 020
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Republicans have bills to roll back Michigan’s clean energy standards, framing it as “reliability” and “affordability.” But rolling back clean energy doesn’t lower costs, it locks Michigan into more expensive fossil fuels, weakens our energy independence and sets us up for higher bills long-term. 021
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Out-of-touch House Republicans have mishandled the economy, ignoring devastating tariffs, skyrocketing gas prices, and rising inflation. Now they want to slash funding to critical programs and services, making it even harder for you to get by. 121

Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 02/03/2026As February ends and March begins, I would like to encourage us all to take a moment and reflect. We must continue to honor the past and present achievements of Black Americans as American History, while simultaneously reaffirming our commitment to Justice, Equity and Opportunity for All. 211
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 27/02/2026The Affordable Water Now package (House Bills 4555, 5170–5173) offers real, lasting change: a fair billing structure, protections for vulnerable households, and the certainty that basic needs won’t be compromised when times get tough. www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...detroitnews.comOpinion: Bills could make water affordable for all MichiganiansMichigan lawmakers propose the Affordable Water Now package to fix rising water costs, offering income-based billing and shutoff protection. 020

Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 26/01/2026This is not just unprofessional, it is irresponsible and dangerous. POAM, the official organization that serves to represent police officers statewide, should not be spreading this kind of propaganda. What our communities need is safety and justice. 210

Reposted by Emily DievendorfEquality Michigan Action Network @actioneqmi.bsky.social · 18/12/2025This begins a 60 day comment period. While this is still developing and likely to face numerous legal challenges, it is clear that these proposed rules directly endanger Michigan’s entire healthcare infrastructure. Gender affirming care in Michigan continues to be safe, legal, and life-saving! 013
Reposted by Emily DievendorfEquality Michigan Action Network @actioneqmi.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Today, the Trump Administration announced proposed rules that aim to restrict transgender young people's access to healthcare, including cutting all Medicare & Medicaid funding from hospitals that provide transgender healthcare to young people.

Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Today, we honor our veterans and their families who sacrificed for our country. I have introduced a bill to exempt 100% disabled veterans from use taxes when buying a personal vehicle — putting more money back in the pocket of our veterans who have given and sacrificed so much to this country. 020
Emily Dievendorf @emilydievendorf.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Today, MDHHS announced it will issue full SNAP payments — the result of Democrats’ lawsuits against the Trump administration’s callous policies.

Michiganders should not have to pay the price of Republican dysfunction in D.C. 042
