Rabbi Matthew J. Zerwekh, Rabbi of Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park, offered the following invocation:
“O God of our mothers and fathers - those on whose shoulders we stand – Oh God of our children and grandchildren and those whose world will be shaped by our choices and actions- You are called many things – God, Allah, Adonai Eloheinu. We pray to You in many ways, in many languages and from innumerable perspectives – today we pray to You for strength, wisdom, integrity, openness to the humans around us –
We pray to You, Adonai Eloheinu, to open the hearts and minds of those in this body, to justice and truth – not convenient truth, nor easy truth, but truth that shines a spotlight on the beautiful as well as the difficult parts of our society – without that full truth we will find ourselves beholden to our history without understanding.
We understand our strength comes, in part, from You- a force greater than ourselves, the one that commanded our patriarch Abraham to Lech Lechah –to move forth out of the old thinking, to shake off the fears of our forefathers and to move toward a future full of God’s promise.
We ask for Your help and partnership, O God, to grant this body wisdom in its dealings – to understand the needs of this state and all of the souls who call it home, and not merely those who look and think and pray and love like we do.
We ask for Your help, O God, to remember how Holy trust is in our relationships – even and especially the relationship between the government and its people. Remind this body, oh God, that faith is powerful when it can guide us in our work on behalf of all, but our faiths should never be allowed to supplant the will of the people nor be used as a cudgel against those who believe differently than ourselves.
Grant us one of Your most precious gifts, O God, of empathy for the other. It is when we strive to understand those unlike ourselves, that we grow in our understanding and mercy.
And guide our steps today and always, O God, to live in a way we can be proud of, to leave a world better than we found it, and to remember the imperative that the Jewish community understands and is echoed in many faiths –That which is hateful to You, do not do to your neighbor.
May all of our work be motivated by Your thirst for justice and peace, O God, and may this body use their personal faiths to motivate them to work for True Liberty and True Justice for all.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Scott, Brixie, Aiyash, O’Neal, Neeley, Young, McKinney, Tyrone Carter, Brenda Carter, Wilson, Wegela, Hoskins, Edwards, Dievendorf, Rogers, Whitsett, Alexander, Churches, Fitzgerald, Glanville, Haadsma, Morse, Rheingans and Weiss offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 122.
A resolution to declare June 19-25, 2023, as Pollinators Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Pollinator species such as bees and other insects play a vital role in pollination, which is essential for the production of one-third of our food supply; and
Whereas, Michigan’s agriculture greatly benefits from pollinators, with fruits and vegetables generating over $2 billion in revenue annually. Approximately half of this produce relies on bee pollination; and
Whereas, The decline of pollinators, caused by factors such as habitat loss, environmental changes, and monoculture crops, poses a significant threat to our food supply, landscapes, and ecosystems; and
Whereas, Supporting Michigan’s native plants and creating pollinator-friendly habitats can help mitigate the decline of pollinators, prevent soil erosion, and increase carbon sequestration; and
Whereas, Raising awareness about the importance of avoiding pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, as well as promoting the planting of pollinator-friendly plants, is crucial for the preservation and restoration of pollinator populations; and
Whereas, Educating the public about the significance of adding natural habitat to farmland, public areas, and personal spaces can contribute to the protection and enhancement of pollinator habitats; and
Whereas, Designating a specific week to focus on pollinators would provide a valuable opportunity to educate Michigan citizens about the economic stability and health benefits associated with pollinators; and
Whereas, Michigan Pollinators Week is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of pollinators, promoting pollinator-friendly practices, and encouraging the conservation of pollinator habitats; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 19-25, 2023, as Pollinators Week in the state of Michigan. We urge all Michigan citizens, educational institutions, community organizations, and businesses to participate in Michigan Pollinators Week by organizing educational events, workshops, and initiatives that highlight the significance of pollinators and promote actions to protect and support their populations.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.

Whereas, Every person should have the freedom to make decisions about their bodies, their lives, and their futures with respect and dignity, including when and how to become parents, without barriers based on income or access. Abortion care, along with the full range of health care, should be affordable, available, and supported for everyone who needs it; and
Whereas, On June 24, 2022 the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and stripped away a right that had been held for nearly 50 years. Almost one third (29%) of the total U.S. population of women of reproductive age are now living in states where abortion is either unavailable or severely restricted, and a dozen other states are certain or likely to ban abortion in the future. All across the country, pregnant people now face delays when trying to access abortion care or are forced to travel hundreds of miles to states with less restrictive requirements and take on additional emotional and financial costs; and
Whereas, A 2022 report found that more than 66 clinics in 15 states have been forced to stop providing abortion care as a result of criminalization, impacting 22 million people of reproductive age who may be in need of abortion care. In these states, people are denied abortion care altogether and, without the means to travel to receive the care they need, are forced to carry a pregnancy against their will; and
Whereas, A person seeking an abortion that is denied is more likely to experience life-threatening maternal and infant health complications, more likely to have a household income below the poverty line and experience economic hardship, and more likely to stay in contact with violent partners, putting them and their children at greater risk than if they were able to receive the abortion; and
Whereas, Abortion is a safe and effective medical procedure. Leading public health organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Medical Association, and the American Academy of Family Physicians strongly oppose efforts to impede access to abortion care or interfere in the relationship between a person and health care provider; and
Whereas, Medication abortion is a
FDA-approved, safe, and effective option for ending an early pregnancy up to 10
weeks and accounts for more than half of all abortions, yet anti-abortion
lawmakers have enacted medically unnecessary laws to restrict and stigmatize
the procedure. Congressional passage of the Women’s Health Protection Act of
2023 would protect the right to abortion and prohibit governmental restrictions
on abortion; and
Whereas, Abortion care should be made available without hurdles or stigma for people of color, young people, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people, immigrants, and others. Systemic racism, economic insecurity, and punitive policies such as the Hyde amendment and insurance coverage bans have especially impacted people of color and marginalized groups. Congressional passage of the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH) Act of 2023 would ensure equal, affordable access to abortion to all individuals no matter their race, how much money they make, how they are insured, who they are, or where they’re from; and
Whereas, Immigrant families continue to struggle against low wages, unfair working conditions, a dehumanizing immigration system, and restrictions to access based on documentation status. Congressional passage of the Lifting Immigrant Families Through Benefits Access Restoration Act of 2021 and the Health Equity and Access under the Law (HEAL) for Immigrant Women and Families Act of 2021 would allow many immigrants to enroll in federal health programs like Medicaid without waiting periods and ensure that all immigrants can access affordable coverage for which they are otherwise eligible; and
Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives stands committed to ensuring abortion is available for everyone who needs it by supporting and advancing policies that ensure abortion care is available without hurdles or stigma for all people in the communities in which they live, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. The Michigan Legislature has already taken bold steps towards abortion justice by repealing the harmful and archaic 1931 law that criminalized abortion providers and adding protections so that no worker will have to face discrimination based on their reproductive health outcomes, including having an abortion; and
Whereas, Local leaders and stakeholders in Michigan are working to advance comprehensive abortion justice policies that address the lived realities of abortion access. Abortion providers in the state of Michigan offer quality and compassionate care, making Michigan a state that will always be a place for those in need of abortion care; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Congress to enact legislation that would ensure abortion is affordable and available for anyone who needs it and to support the President of the United States’ efforts to protect abortion access across the country; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
