In March 2023, Interfaith Action hosted a panel discussion on efforts to restore specialized driver's licenses for immigrants residing in Michigan. Licenses were available until 2008 when they were rescinded. The restoration of driver's licenses is now being considered. The panelists for the discussion include:

- Gene Schoon, Coordinator for Policy and Justice for Interfaith Action

- Lupita Sanchez, SW Rural Michigan Organizer for We The People-Michigan

- Liz Balck, ACLU of Michigan

- Simon Marshall-Shah, Policy Analyst for the Michigan League for Public Policy
