Climate Action Phonebank

For the first time in the modern era of the environmental movement, Michigan has elected a conservation majority; setting the stage for us to boldly pursue a transition to clean energy, clean water, a strong democracy, and create a livable future for all Michiganders.
Environmental Champions in the State Legislature have introduced the Clean Energy Future Plan to transition Michigan to 100% Clean Energy and tackle the climate crisis head on.
We need to make sure it passes, and it is absolutely critical that lawmakers hear from constituents in support of this legislation.
You’re invited to join us for a Climate Action Phonebank to help ensure that we get this important legislation across the finish line and onto the Governor’s Desk!
