People across Michigan are gathering to support the auto industry.
Tuesday, the “Keep it Made in America” tour made its way around the state with stops in Saginaw, Bay City, and Lansing. They are trying to bring awareness to the country and legislators about how many people will be effected if the big three fail.
Some supporters say, “what people fail to realize is when a huge corporation goes down that built a city up or built a community up it trickles down that our schools are effected our small businesses are effected.” And, another supporter says, “we can’t have this industry fall by the wayside that we need the big three… The big three aren’t just big in detroit or michigan but across this country.”
According to the tour group 7.2 million jobs are effected by the auto industry. The group plans to make their way through eleven states and 34 cities.
