Our democracy should serve everyone and be responsive to the needs of the working class – not lobbyists and the billionaire class who employ them. Money out of Politics (MOP) is a statewide ballot measure that Michiganders will be voting on this November as Prop 2 that will ban government contractors such as Consumers Energy, DTE, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health and others from making political contributions, to make the government more accountable to everyday people.

We are the Metro Detroit chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. We believe in a world where you have the power to decide how the economy and government runs, instead of just a wealthy few. This is why we are proud to support Money out of Politics, a bold step towards that vision. 

What will voting YES on Proposition 2 do?

• Gets Money Out of Politics

  • Prohibits monopoly utilities (like DTE, Consumers Energy, and Blue Cross Blue Shield) and big government contractors from donating to politicians who regulate them and hand out contracts.

• Ends Pay-to-Play

  • Cracks down on pay-to-play politics to ensure Michigan's government works for the people, not career politicians and corporate interests.

• Brings Transparency

  • Stops big donors from hiding who they are so voters know who's really paying to influence Michigan's elections.
