Jocelyn Benson on Civil Rights

 

 


Implemented added LGBTQ+ protections in state constitution

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has built a strong record of LGBTQ+ advocacy since taking office in 2019. From streamlining gender marker processes to playing a pivotal role in implementing the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act amendment that added LGBTQ+ protections into the state constitution, Benson's tenure has marked a significant shift in how Michigan's government serves its LGBTQ+ community.
