MLCV will develop a democracy outreach plan for 2025 municipal and 2026 midterm elections that includes earned and paid media, in-person voter education, relationship-building, clerk engagement, civics education, and rapid response measures. It will also research, test, and elevate messaging that more effectively inspires voters in low-turnout districts to vote while engaging youth at college campuses. Plans will be coordinated with coalition partners to drive a dynamic, pro-environment voter effort in 2025 and 2026.
MLCV is scaling current canvassing efforts to train youth organizers through their intensive “Our Water Activist” program and by coordinating with Student Organizations on targeted campuses, empowering youth leaders with the skills, resources and training they need to organize and mobilize their peers to vote for pro-climate/democracy champions.
Michigan LCV works to protect the air, land, and water in communities all across Michigan by activating voters to elect and hold accountable public officials who fight for an environment that sustains the health and well-being of us all.
