Support Bold and Equitable Climate Action in Michigan

BIG NEWS: Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer just took bold and ambitious action to fight climate change.

The Governor issued an executive order that sets a goal of dramatically cutting carbon pollution and becoming carbon-neutral by 2050 across all sectors of the state’s economy, including electric power, transportation, buildings, industry, and agriculture.

But we must ensure that the state commits to cutting carbon pollution in a way that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, which are weathering the cumulative impacts of pollution and climate disruptions.

Thank Governor Whitmer for stepping up on climate — and call on her to center communities in developing EQUITABLE solutions to reduce dangerous carbon pollution, protect public health, and address environmental injustice.

Dear Governor Whitmer:

Thank you for taking bold and ambitious action on climate by signing your recent executive order.

If successful, the order would help dramatically cut carbon pollution and commits our state to carbon-neutrality by 2050 across all sectors of our economy. And it will help hold the state's largest utilities accountable.

This executive action is an important step in tackling our current climate crisis. But the state must commit to cutting carbon pollution in a way that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of communities most impacted by climate change.

Please commit to climate policies that:

* Help relieve the burden on low-income communities and communities of color disproportionately impacted by climate change by ensuring strong environmental justice representation on your Council on Climate Solutions
* Help create new well-paying clean energy jobs and investments in the communities who need them most

In order to successfully meet our state's new climate goals, please be sure Black, Brown, and Indigenous People are strongly represented on the Council on Climate Solutions.

Thank you so much for your time and leadership.
