We kicked off 2021 with a training on the theory and strategy behind eeeeeeverything we do here at SFI. I know, pretty legit. Because this stuff is so integral to our work, we thought we’d share the highlights here.
Tell Michigan: Send Military Voting Bill Back to the Governor!
Earlier this year, Michigan’s statehouse passed a bill to allow overseas service members and their dependents to submit their absentee ballots online. We supported this bill and were thrilled when it passed! Unfortunately, Michigan’s legislature just yanked the bill back from the Governor’s desk before it could get signed into law. We need your help to […]

Politics in the Military

Tell Michigan: Help Military Spouses Vote Too!
Spouses stationed overseas face the same barriers to absentee voting as their service members do — sometimes, even more!

We support this bill, and we want it amended to include military spouses and of-age children.
