You Have the Power to Inspire Change.
The impacts of climate change are intensifying and decades of disinvestment have resulted in certain communities disproportionately bearing the brunt of these impacts.
By working together we can reverse these disparities and ensure all Michiganders, regardless of income or zip code, have clean air to breath, safe water to drink and healthy communities.
Our Priorities
From contaminated drinking water and out of control air pollution to attacks on our most cherished parks and natural areas, our state is no longer a leader in protecting our land, air and water.
If we want our communities to be safe and clean, we cannot continue with business as usual.

Our Guiding Principles
These Guiding Principles describe the conscience of the Organization and should be in practice in any program, campaign, or initiative the Organization takes on and the everyday work of our staff and board.
People-Centered Power
Building authentic power led by those who have been impacted by pollution and degradation and who share a commitment to protecting Michigan’s air, land, water and democracy.
Innovation
Achieving our goals through breaking new ground and establishing visionary models for advocacy and community organizing to protect everyone’s right to clean air and water, safe communities and a healthy democracy.
Inclusivity
Building bridges across diverse communities and constituencies in a way that recognizes the power, breadth and depth of political, economic, and racial differences that exist in our state. We strive to transcend those divides by listening, creating a sense of belonging and developing connections, partnerships and opportunities for collective action.
Justice
Fighting for fair and equitable environmental policies that create, restore or protect access to clean air and water, natural spaces and voting rights, especially for communities disproportionately impacted by pollution, climate change and voter suppression. We ensure that all elected officials are held accountable for their actions and all voices are heard by the people elected to represent them, especially those who have been historically disenfranchised.
For more than 22 years, Michigan LCV has worked to harness the power of government and people to protect our air, land and water and improve quality of life for all Michiganders. Whom we elect matters, and when we come together and use our collective voices, we can enact lasting change for our state.
