8 Ways you can Get involved today
Across the Great Lakes State, folks like you are doing more than ever before to protect our state’s natural resources. We have regional coordinators in southeast, west, and northern Michigan as well as a growing statewide membership of more than 50,000 citizens.
Whether you are most concerned about protecting your clean air, safe drinking water, or the natural spaces you love, you can make a difference by joining the team right here in Michigan. It takes people like you to get organized and get active to make progress!
1. Take action online
Urge YOUR State Rep. to oppose the “Drain the Streams” bill
Tell MI House: Polluters do not belong in charge of protections
Urge Gov. Snyder to protect state parks by protecting our Trust Fund
2. Donate
It will take all of us working together to hold the line for our natural resources in the fights ahead. Our nation is poised to turn back toward dirty energy, clean drinking water can no longer be taken for granted in our communities, and our parks and public lands are on the chopping block.
Backing down is out of the question, but we need your support for these fights if we’re going to win. Please take a moment to stand up for your family, your Great Lakes, and the Michigan you know and love.
Please consider making your contribution monthly. We are facing unprecedented challenges and receiving monthly support makes a big difference.
