The Statewide Fight For Water Access During Coronavirus
2020-04-10 14:00 - 15:00 | MI
This Friday April 10th from 2:00 – 3:00 pm, please join us for our webinar: “You Can’t Wash Your Hands Without Water: The Statewide Fight For Water Access During Coronavirus” featuring Michigan LCV Executive Director Lisa Wozniak, We the People of Detroit President & CEO Monica Lewis-Patrick and State Senator Stephanie Chang with a special performance from Grover Easterling III.
Nothing crystallizes more that ‘water is life’ than not having it to save yourself and your family from a deadly virus. COVID-19 is illuminating the grave water injustices plaguing communities across the state of Michigan, in particular, the lack of access to clean, safe and affordable drinking water. We hope you can join us Friday for this important discussion on the outstanding work that has been done by advocates to make clear EVERYONE deserves access to clean, safe, affordable drinking water and how we can mobilize to ensure it turns on and stays on.
We also will cover some recent actions by Governor Gretchen Whitmer on this critical issue.

COVID-19 & The Environment: Public Health is Under Attack
2020-04-15 16:00 - 17:00 | Save Money on Your Energy Bills with President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act
COVID-19 has caused a public health crisis, but it has also brought to light the health disparities that many of our Michigan communities have already been facing for decades. During this unprecedented and difficult time, the federal government is exacerbating these concerns by suspending the enforcement of environmental rules and regulations, putting critical functions like water and air monitoring to a halt and giving polluters the green light to wreak havoc on our land, air and water without consequence. Join us on Wednesday to learn more why it is important for Michigan’s leaders and citizens to stand up for environmental protections in the face of COVID-19 now more than ever.
This event will feature Michigan LCV Executive Director Lisa Wozniak, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, and State Representative Abdullah Hammoud.

Virtual Gala 2020: Equity and The Environment
2020-10-14 18:00 - 19:30 | Canvass for Trevor Maveal for Prosecutor & Chokwe Pitchford for County Commission
Michigan League of Conservation Voters invites you to the Michigan LCV Virtual Gala: Equity & The Environment on October 14th from 6 – 7.30 pm. Traditionally held in the heart of the Motor City, COVID-19 has mandated a shift to Zoom, but this event remains focused on priority issues impacting Detroit.
RSVP today!
Event tickets start at a $50 suggested donation. All ticket purchases and sponsorships will go to support Michigan LCV’s critical work to protect our drinking water, public health, and our democracy, and tackle the existential threat of our time: the climate crisis.
This has been an unprecedented year, from a global pandemic that is having disproportionate impacts on communities of color and brutal racial police violence to widespread water affordability and contamination issues increasing our susceptibility to COVID-19. Michigan LCV recognizes the importance of electing leaders who will prioritize water protections and affordability, environmental justice, and the impacts of climate change.
On October 14th, Michigan LCV will honor three champions for their outstanding leadership on climate and water justice, public health and equity, and addressing the impacts of structural racism:
Governor Gretchen Whitmer established the nation’s only Racial Disparities Task Force to address the disparate impact COVID-19 has had on communities of color, with Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist leading the charge. The Whitmer/Gilchrist Administration declared racism a public health crisis, put in place the most diverse leadership team in state history, and have been leading boldly on climate change and water protections.
Theresa Landrum, an incredible frontline leader, has spent decades working to address public health issues and racial disparities in Michigan’s most polluted zip code: 48217. For decades, Theresa has advocated for some of Detroit’s most impacted communities and is a leading voice for justice across Michigan.

Along with our honorees, Equity and the Environment will feature environmental champions, U.S. Senator Gary Peters, U.S. Representative Elissa Slotkin, State Representative Tyrone Carter and a special performance by Detroit poet, Natasha Miller you don’t want to miss!

Maintaining Democracy in Times of Crisis
2021-04-15 16:00 - 17:00 | MI
As we saw throughout the 2020 election, our democracy is an amazing system, but one that is being threatened. Secretary Benson and others have taken meaningful steps towards ensuring that the right to vote is accessible for all citizens, regardless of race, class, or any other arbitrary factor.
Lisa and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will be joined by election workers and clerks across the state to discuss the importance of election reforms to ensure all citizens have not only the right to vote, but understand how they can vote.

Grand Traverse County PFAS Town Hall
2021-04-29 19:00 - 20:00 | MI
Following the discovery of toxic PFAS chemicals in East Bay Township, the Grand Traverse community is demanding answers.
Join community leaders, local elected officials and independent PFAS experts for a virtual town hall on PFAS contamination in Grand Traverse County. Independent experts and conservation organizations will provide the basics about PFAS contamination, what it is and how it’s impacting our community as well as information on what you can do about it!

Line 5: Shutting Down the Ticking Time Bomb
2021-05-04 17:00 - 18:00 | MI
The outdated, 68-year-old pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac is set to be shut down in May. Enbridge’s time has run out — but they aren’t going down without a fight. A Line 5 rupture in the Straits of Mackinac would impact 700 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, take years to clean up and devastate our Great Lakes economy. Shutting down Line 5 is crucial to protect the Great Lakes from a catastrophic oil spill.
Join Michigan LCV and Jeff Insko, Professor of English at Oakland University, Whitney Gravelle, President, Bay Mills Indian Community, Riyaz Kanjii, Tribal Litigator at Kanji & Katzen and Michigan LCV board member, for a conversation on the steps to shutting down Line 5.

President Biden’s Climate Agenda: What it means for Michigan
2021-06-08 17:00 - 18:00 | MI
Our country is at a pivotal moment as we recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. We have an immense opportunity to build our country back to take action on climate change and build a clean economy that works for everyone.
Michigan sits at the center of this change and has an opportunity to lead with our manufacturing know-how, our auto industry and deep connection to water.
Join Michigan LCV for a hopeful conversation around the Biden Administration’s efforts to continue moving the dial on climate during his first few months in office and plans moving forward.
The webinar will feature Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (CD 12 – Dearborn), David Kieve, Director of Public Engagement for the White House Council on Environmental Quality and Ryan ‘Rei’ Fielder, Manager for Michigan Alliance for Justice in Climate (MAJIC) who will address recent legislation and share how these decisions impact Michigan.

Maintaining Food Access in the Face of Climate Change
2021-07-15 16:00 - 17:00 | MI
How and where we get our food, and the food that we eat, has a significant impact on our health, the climate, and local economies. A healthy, sustainable, and affordable food system is critical to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, and that local economies and farmers benefit from their sale. Buying local produce and using sustainable farming practices also plays an important role in mitigating climate change by limiting the carbon footprint from agriculture production, nutrient runoff, and more.
Join Michigan LCV for a People, Planet, Public Health webinar with U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, Oran Hesterman, Founder & CEO of Fair Food Network and Quiana “Que” Broden, Founder & Executive Chef of The Kitchen by Cooking with Que in Detroit for a discussion about the ties between healthy food access, sustainable farming, and climate change — as well as the opportunities in Congress to improve our food systems and infrastructure.

Join us this year as we recognize Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Assistant Secretary of State Heaster Wheeler for their work to enable historic voter turnout in Michigan in 2020 — despite the challenges of COVID-19 — and protecting all Michiganders’ right to vote; PFAS activists Tony Spaniola and Sandy Wynn-Stelt for their tireless advocacy on behalf of communities impacted by toxic PFAS chemicals; and Bay Mills Indian Community President Whitney Gravelle for her work on shutting down the Line 5 oil pipeline.
