With the current administration rolling back environmental protections, it's easy to feel like hope is lost. But clean energy is actually winning, and we should celebrate and acknowledge that

Have you heard? Michigan's largest climate gathering is back, and it's happening June 12! The 2026 Michigan Climate Summit returns with a theme that couldn't be more timely: Collective Courage. 👇 Register now at the link in the comments!

Without clear regulations, hyperscale data centers are popping up all over Michigan, driving up energy prices and using huge quantities of water. Read our recent MiCAN Voice article to learn what you can do to hold data center decision-makers accountable!↘️ www.miclimateaction.org/articles/how...

🚨It's time to tell your legislators that we need a moratorium on data centers to protect Michiganders and the environment! Send a message to these companies and demand protection for our environment, greater transparency, and relief on our energy bills: www.miclimateaction.org/take-action/...

The Affordable Water Now package offers real, lasting change: a fair billing structure, protections for vulnerable households, and the certainty that basic needs won’t be compromised when times get tough. This is the kind of structural solution our families, our communities, and our economy deserve.

A new ballot initiative would prohibit monopoly utilities from donating to the very lawmakers that oversee them. It would also prevent any company with over $250K in state contracts from doing the same. We're endorsing this initiative which could reshape climate action in Michigan if passed.

Join us March 5th for a free educational webinar for Michiganders who want to learn more about hyperscale data centers as they arrive in their communities, presented by the Michigan Climate Action Network and the League of Women Voters of Michigan
