Teamsters join 7K at MI rally

Teamsters in Lansing today.
There's a ginormous rally going on right now in Lansing, Mich. It's called "Put People First" rally and it just got started. Al Young, a Teamsters Joint Council 43 organizer, is at the event:
The crowd is huge. I would guess there are at least 7,000 people already here and more are coming. It's already loud and energetic. There's going to be a series of speakers and a lot going on today.

And things begin with a prayer and the chant "no justice...no peace."
More updates to follow shortly.
