Gretchen Whitmer on Civil Rights |
Protecting these freedoms is the right thing to do and it's just good economics. States with extreme laws are losing talent and investment because bigotry is bad for business.
"We can't have half-truths or hyperbole convince people that this isn't to be taken seriously. If you're not serious, you're woefully uneducated about what we are confronting as a nation," she continued. "And that's why I'm trying to implore everyone to take this seriously. Do your part. Every one of us, whether you're asymptomatic and healthy today or you're someone who is medically vulnerable, has to do their part- washing your hands, social distancing, all of the practices from the CDC."
