Donavan McKinney for Congress
@donavanmckinney
🗳 Candidate for Michigan 13 🌹 Democratic Socialist 👊🏾 "Always With The People"
We know when DTE cuts our power, it isn't just "inconvenient". It's a week of food in your fridge, your kids' ability to stay cool, & your grandma's oxygen access — all gone. But instead of fighting DTE for us, our US Rep. Shri Thanedar takes DTE's money & looks the other way.
Can't believe it's been 6 years since the passing of Civil Rights Legend, Icon, and Frat Brother Congressman John Lewis 🙏🏾 We are working hard every day to win this seat in Congress on Tuesday, August 4th so we can pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act that bears his name into law 💙
Im at Authentically Detroit candidate forum! Tune in to see if my opponent makes an appearance! www.youtube.com/live/rBRQCB8...
📷 Good morning, everyone. Praying all is well. Yesterday, in between knocking doors I stopped by to celebrate Ms. Ann Connally's (Pershing High School Finest) 75th Birthday at Cred Cafe, an amazing Black-Owned establishment located on East Jefferson in Detroit 🥳
REMINDER: GOTV Rally & Voting Rights Town Hall TODAY at The Bridge Center Voting Rights Town Hall: 4pm doors Open at 3:30pm GOTV Rally 6:30pm doors open 6pm These are family-friendly events. All ages are welcome. Please come out, support, and help spread the word 💙
As a Big Pharma exec, Shri abandoned over 100 beagles in his animal-testing lab. As our Congressman, he’s left the people of Detroit behind to line his own pockets and the pockets of his wealthiest crypto and Trump donors.
Proud to announce the endorsements of the Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity & the Detroit Ecumenical Ministers Alliance 💙 2️⃣8️⃣ Days Until Election Day on Tuesday, August 4th 🗳
Hey everyone, hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend 🎆 Proud to announce we have been endorsed by Rev. Horace Sheffield 🙌🏾 2️⃣9️⃣ Days Until Election Day on Tuesday, August 4th 🗳 #NoShriForMe #AlwaysWithThePeople #Mighty13th #McKinneyForCongress #WeDeserveBetter
"From every mountainside, let freedom ring." Happy 4th of July from our family to yours 💙 We had so much fun this morning walking in the 89th Annual Wyandotte Independence Day Parade 🥳 #AlwaysWithThePeople #LetFreedomRing #HappyIndependenceDay #Mighty13th #HonoredAndBlessedToServe
Good morning everyone & Happy Friday Eve 😄 Here's our statement on the flood of attack ads from Shri. We'll put our record up against his anytime and let the voters decide. Man up & come meet me on debate stage 📣 #DebateDonavan #ShadyShri #WeDeserveBetter #FightThePower #AlwaysWithThePeople
No matter the outcome today, one thing is already true: more people are stepping up to fight for working families instead of corporations. That's the energy I'm bringing to Michigan's 13th, and I need you with me.
Denver! Today you have the chance to send a real fighter to DC. I am so proud of my sister @MelatKirosCO and the movement she has built. I am rooting for Melat, and her race has many similarities to ours here in Detroit. Here's why it matters for us too. 🧵
Good morning everyone & Happy Friday 😄 Yesterday, I spoke on the Capitol steps at the SEIU Home Care Rally, as our Home Care workers are in contract negotiations for better wages and benefits 💙 #HealthCareForAll #UnionStrong
Good morning everyone & Happy Hump Day 😄 Thank you to the Michigan Chronicle for highlighting our Reparative Justice legislation and our push for Reparations here in Michigan. #AlwaysWithThePeople #Reparations #InjusticeAnywhereIsAThreatToJusticeEverywhere #NeverForgetOurHistory #WeDeserveBetter
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Our new TV ad, "We Deserve Better," is officially out — and it's a reminder of exactly what this campaign is all about. Watch it 👇🏾
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY from our family to yours 💙 As a Dad of 3 young children, fatherhood is one of the most underrated, but rewarding and challenging jobs I will ever do in life 🥰
Good morning everyone, here are a few photos from yesterday as we celebrated Juneteenth across the Mighty 13th District 💙 #AlwaysWithThePeople #HappyJuneteeth #NeverForgetOurHistory #Mighty13th #WeDeserveBetter
Yesterday, on the eve of Juneteenth, I joined my colleagues of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus as we held a press conference and introduced our Reparations aka "Reparative Justice" legislation 💙
34 today! Grateful to God, family, friends & community for every step of this journey. Now I need YOUR help — I'm running for Congress in Michigan's 13th & our election is 7 weeks away. Celebrate with me by giving $3.40, $34, or $340 💙 #McKinneyForCongress #Mighty13th
Proud to have the endorsement of We The People Action Fund. Together, we're working to lower the everyday costs for working families across Michigan 💙 #AlwaysWithThePeople #FightingForYouEveryday #Mighty13th #PowerToThePeople #WeDeserveBetter
Motor City Pride was truly a VIBE 🌈 With so much hate and division dominating our world right now, it was a blessing to see so much JOY 💙🏳️🌈 #AlwaysWithThePeople #HappyPride #Mighty13th #RepresentationMatters #HonoredAndBlessedToServe
The ability to participate in free and fair elections absent of intimidation, suppression, or election-rigging is a freedom countless Americans have died for. Today's ruling diminishes that ability for Black communities.
Good morning everyone, we have officially turned in our petitions and filed to run to be your next Congressman in Michigan's Mighty 13th District 🎉 #AlwaysWithThePeople #Mighty13th
No Kings Pt. 3 RECAP 💙 Detroit Grosse Pointe Romulus Taylor Wayne Wyandotte #AlwaysWithThePeople #ThankYouMighty13th #GettingInGOODTrouble #WeDeserveBetter #ThePeoplesVoiceMustBeHeard
I was recently interviewed at the Capitol Rotunda about who I admire in my legislative journey. I spoke about the legacy of the late great Honorable Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick. She was known to me as a "True Appropriater."
Yesterday, I was invited to speak at the No ICE Detention Facility Protest in Romulus 📣 Over 500 people came out in the winter cold to make their voices heard and say NO TO ICE 💙
Listen to 1 of the questions I asked the House Fiscal Agency about the impacts of HR 1 (“One Big Ugly Bill") on MI taxpayers. Outside of healthcare, the primary change would be to the state's food assistance program & MI residents would have to pay $340M more for administrative costs, etc.
Our Formerly Incarcerated TownHall is TONIGHT 5pm-8pm at the Horatio Williams Center (1010 Antietam Ave, Detroit, MI 48207). There will be free food, opportunities for healing, fellowship, & dialogue about how the criminal justice system has broken up families just like mine.
Good afternoon everyone, hope all is well and Happy Ash Wednesday & Happy Ramadan 💙 Proud to announce the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters in our race to become the next Congressman in Michigan's Mighty 13th District 🎉
