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 Michigan School Districts: Our Kids Deserve a Clean Ride to School
Every day, thousands of Michigan children ride school buses that run on dirty diesel engines. Diesel exhaust is a known human carcinogen that can trigger asthma attacks and interfere with learning. Electric school buses are a better alternative since they have zero tailpipe emissions, ensuring children breathe clean air on their way to and from school.
Tell Michigan Members of Congress: Hold the Line on Progress to Cut Climate Pollution
Over the last four years, we have made significant progress to cut climate pollution, thanks to the largest federal climate investment in U.S. history plus strong national protections to reduce harmful air and climate pollution. Michigan communities are seeing the benefits of increased funding for local clean energy and transportation projects. But now this funding is under attack.

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.
