Delta College hosts AG Nessel for LGBTQ rights discussion

Delta College's student group, Pioneers Rising, is hosting an event with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on March 27. The discussion will focus on LGBTQ rights and the challenges facing these rights at both the state and federal levels. The event will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Delta College’s main campus in Room N-007. It is free and open to the public. Nessel will lead the panel by discussing the impact of recent federal actions on civil rights, healthcare access, and legal recognition for LGBTQ individuals. One key topic will be the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, Michigan's vital law that protects LGBTQ residents. Nessel has expressed concerns over potential rollbacks of these protections, citing efforts made during President Trump's administration. The event aims to encourage an open dialogue about the state of LGBTQ rights. Kirn, a member of Pioneers Rising, emphasized that it is not just about sharing information, but also about engaging the community to take action.
