🚨🚨This attack on the @EPA workforce is unprecedented in scope and scale.🚨🚨
The result could be a severe slowdown or shutdown of our work protecting human health and the environment in the Great Lakes.

These employees work on getting the lead out of pipes or enforcing environmental laws like the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act.
They work on turning contaminated land into usable land.
They work on Superfund sites, cleaning up toxic pollution.
Firing them hurts YOU.

The evidence is clear: climate change is already causing more severe weather events. Hurricane Milton caused "at least 20% more rain & 10% stronger winds" than a similar storm in a world without global warming.

.@HouseGOP's resolution hinders West Michiganders’ right to clean air and ability to cut costs while jeopardizing the planet our children will inherit. I spoke on the House floor today about how harmful and counterproductive this resolution would be to MI-03.

Michigan’s clean energy laws will help U.P. residents lower costs and reduce pollution. Read our coalition’s full statement renewing support for the clean energy standard signed into law last year: bit.ly/memj731 #MICleanEnergyFuture

🚨🚨🚨ACTION ALERT - Bills allowing for huge #DataCenters would place massive water burdens on already overstressed communities - they've passed #MiLeg Senate and the House will vote on it soon!
These bills were passed WITHOUT tribal consultation. They'd provide massive tax breaks to wealthy corporations with NO community benefit.
Take action now by calling your House Rep and telling them to kill this bill! See below for a list of Representatives and phone numbers. Let's light up that switchboard!

With rising costs, it’s gotten harder for family farmers to compete with corporate agriculture companies. Wind and solar provide farmers with a valuable new income stream, making the most of less productive land and keeping the farm in the family. #MICleanEnergyFuture

Summers are getting hotter in Michigan. Outdoor workers and athletes, older people and people with chronic health conditions are among those most at risk for heat illness. Know the signs and stay cool!

We can’t wait for a disastrous oil spill in the Great Lakes.
Read my op-ed on the need to shut down Line 5 immediately 👇🏽

MI Climate Action retweeted
Enbridge is a wealthy Canadian fossil fuel corporation that operates the Line 5 oil pipeline through the Great Lakes.
This pipeline endangers 21% of the world’s fresh surface water just so Endbridge can make a profit. It’s time to #ShutDownLine5! apnews.com/article/enbridge-…

will u be mine and #shutdownline5??? 💘

The fight to shut down Enbridge #Line5 pipeline continues in federal court. @ELPCenter and @MiClimateAction will have our day in appeals court to continue our part of that fight very soon. @Earthjustice #Cleanwater @OilWaterDntMix
"The fact that the U.S. hasn't spoken up yet is frightening," Whitney Gravelle, the president of the Bay Mills Indian Community, told the Journal Sentinel. She said the U.S. "needs to step up" and honor tribal treaty rights.

🚨This week we sent a letter to @PHMSA_DOT over concerns that Enbridge might lay off 650 workers and what it could mean for the safety of the Line 5 oil pipeline.🚨 #ShutDownLine5

ALT Quote graphic from the letter to PHMSA that reads, "There is no such thing as a safe 70-year-old pipeline in the Great Lakes, along the northern shore of Lake Michigan, or in the Lake Superior watershed in Wisconsin. It is crucial, however, that the company maintains adequate staffing levels to ensure the safest possible operation and maintenance of its pipelines." the background is of Lake Superior at sunset and below is the OWDM logo.

👏 Thank you to the Tribes and environmental groups appealing the approval of a #Line5 oil pipeline replacement!🧵
We can have a sustainable future with wind and solar.

"We kind of say that our [climate] movement is not yet at fighting weight, because we know that this is not a fair fight to begin with," says Colleen Otte of @MiClimateAction.
What, then, led to Michigan's new, powerful climate laws? Organizing prowess. bit.ly/48o9Kv5
