Moms are working in Michigan to fight for clean air and a stable climate. We host events, share information about what’s going on, and create opportunities for mothers to talk to their legislators about their concerns. Please join us in Michigan, and let us know about your priorities.
What We’re Working On
Tell Governor Whitmer: Lead on Climate Safety
It is more important than ever for states to act on climate change. States—and their governors—can be powerful leaders in building a clean energy economy. That’s why we’re asking Governor Whitmer to keep stepping up to slash climate pollution, protect children’s health, and ensure clean air for all communities. Our future depends on it.
Tell Governor Whitmer: Speak Out Against the Reopening of the Campbell Coal Plant
Michigan's Campbell coal plant was set to close on June 1. But President Trump has issued an “emergency” order to force it back into operation—even though it is extremely expensive to run, uses outdated technology, and is one of the worst polluters in the region. Who is going to pay for this decision? Michigan families.

Events and Resources in Michigan
Why We Care
Children in Michigan face serious air pollution threats. In Wayne County, home to Detroit, over 29,000 children have asthma. The county has an F grade for ozone and particle pollution from the American Lung Association, posing a health risk to all residents. Six Michigan counties received an F for ozone pollution, which climate change is making worse.
Michigan’s air pollution comes largely from coal-fired power plants, cars, and trucks. But because Michigan is the heart of the U.S. auto industry, Michigan’s moms have a special role to play in advocating for a clean car future. We are pushing for stronger national air pollution standards.
Michigan’s Great Lakes, vital for drinking water, are threatened by pollution, rising temperatures, and extreme weather, causing floods and erosion. The lakes also hold potential for offshore wind energy. Though Michigan has increased renewable energy production, coal and methane gas still make up 63% of its electricity, highlighting the need for more renewable energy to cut pollution and protect health.
