“It’s been positioned as a racial issue,” said Terry Barclay, president and CEO of Inforum, formerly the Women’s Economic Club of Michigan. “There’s not been good and clear information out there about its impact on women business owners, contracts and children,” said Barclay. To “shed some light, not just heat” on the ballot issue, Inforum scheduled three debates on the impact of Proposal 2 on women.

“I really think this is one of those moments when it’s important for everyone to pay attention and think this through,” said Barclay. She said people need to decide ‘what is my opinion on this?’ and not just let it slide.”
