Michigan League of Conservation Voters (Michigan LCV) is the state’s leading political voice for protecting Michigan’s environment and public health. We work to elect pro-environment candidates, hold policymakers accountable, and pass equitable climate and environmental policies. Through advocacy, organizing, communications, and coalition leadership, we fight for clean air and water, climate action, environmental justice, and a strong democracy. Michigan LCV operates across c3, c4, and PAC entities to build political power for climate action in the Great Lakes State.

In 2025, Michigan LCV led state-wide advocacy to lower energy costs and hold utilities accountable amid repeated rate hikes. We successfully introduced our “No Utility Money Challenge,” a signed pledge for Michigan lawmakers and candidates to commit to not taking political donations from corporate utility companies – and successfully secured more than 50 signatures since April 2025. We also advanced legislation for a multi-year rate hike moratorium and to establish a Michigan Ratepayer Bill of Rights to ensure a fair, affordable energy system for all. Our team worked to defend Michigan’s clean energy standards and access to community solar.

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.
