Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition (c3)
Organization Description
The Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition (MEJC) works to achieve a clean, healthy, and safe environment for Michigan residents most affected by inadequate policies. We build power and unity within our community, so we all can thrive.
2025 Programs
The MEJC program in the 2024 elections includes movement base-building and communications efforts through energy democracy, issue advocacy, and corporate accountability for Michigan's monopoly private-investor owned utility companies. Tactics include canvassing, events, and phone banking as well as significant digital communications including videos, posts, and movement mobilization invitations. And, the organizing work will continue off-cycle.
