Community Organizer Environmental Justice

Currently we are working with the Michiganders for Money Out of Politics coalition to pass a Michigan state law that comprehensively prohibits monopoly utilities like DTE and Consumers Energy from making state or local political contributions. From issues like holding polluters accountable to taking the big bold steps that we need to address the climate crisis political money from major corporations has been a consistent roadblock to passing people-centered policy. We can no longer allow monopoly corporations and corporations seeking state contracts to buy their way out of accountability and drown out the voice of the people. And because we cant trust our lawmakers to do the right thing while theyre being funded by corporations were putting this up for a vote by the people of Michigan on next years ballot.
