Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) are disproportionately impacted by pollution that comes from a number of sources, including power production, transportation, heavy industry and more.
For too long, solutions for environmental challenges have not prioritized communities that are impacted the most by pollution.
Michigan LCV stands with communities on the frontlines and environmental justice advocates to break the trend of disinvestment that has led to low-income and communities of color bearing the brunt of environmental impacts.
All Michiganders, regardless of their zip code, income or color of their skin deserve access to safe, affordable water, clean air to breathe and a healthy community with green spaces and access to nature.
Michigan LCV supports and advocates for including Justice 40 principles in all policymaking to ensure historically disadvantaged communities feel the benefits and are emphasized as we find equitable solutions to reducing pollution, protecting our water and transitioning our state to clean, renewable energy.
