Is there an environmental champion near you?
We’re at a turning point: we need leaders in Lansing who will do the right thing for our communities and our great state.
Our state has the highest levels of PFAS in the nation — we’re leading the pack with 30 legacy contamination sites (and counting). We’re at risk of leaving our lakes open to costly, irreversible damage from toxic algal blooms and invasive species. Our unregulated, failing septic systems are discharging 30 million gallons of raw sewage into our groundwater and waterways every day. Thousands of Detroit residents are facing water shutoffs amidst record-high bills — all while we’re surrounded by the world’s largest supply of surface freshwater.
We’re endorsing 24 more candidates who are committed to protecting our air, land and water to be environmental champions in the Legislature. We believe these candidates will be true protectors of #OurWater and our communities. They will take the lead on creating a bold, comprehensive plan for our resource protection, building the health of our communities, and funding infrastructure improvements to ensure safe affordable water for all.
