LANSING, Mich. — Sen. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) has issued the following statement regarding hate fliers being found near the vehicles of two biracial couples in Trenton:

“I am appalled that this type of hate and intimidation would be happening in our communities. Our words and our actions have a lasting impact on people. The Downriver community is a beautifully diverse one whose families have always stood alongside each other, not against one another. I condemn the instigators of this reprehensible action and hope they are brought to justice.

“Families who have been victims of this hate propaganda are welcome to contact my office for any support they may need. I will always reject prejudice, hate, and discrimination, and stand with those whose lives have been devastatingly affected by it.”

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the police at (734) 676-3737.
