Inspiring and equipping people of faith and conscience to exercise stewardship of and love for all Creation.

Today we met with staffers from @RepRashida @RepSlotkin and @RepShriThanedar’s offices to advocate for strong International Climate Funding. @interfaithpower @YaleClimateComm

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

As the largest historical climate polluter, we need the US to do its Fair Share to provide aid to countries on the frontlines of climate change. #Faiths4Climate #IPLConference24

🌞 This fall, we helped Lord of Lords become the 1st Black church in Detroit to go #solar! "God gave us clean air, he gave us clean soil, he gave us clean water. And so I believe that this is just the right thing to do as people of faith.” #IRA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: HUNDREDS DEMAND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DO ITS FAIR SHARE FOR CLIMATE ACTION AT COP28 ✅ https://t.co/loCPdyAbL9 Help implore @JoeBiden and his administration to acknowledge & ACT on the US’ #HistoricalResponsibility at #COP28 to address the #climatecrisis

@MichiganPSC @DTE_Energy @Enbridge CORRECTION: MPSC approved a $368m increase, which will raise the average DTE customer's monthly bill by $6.51.

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

Why is @MichiganPSC rubber stamping corporate profits and new fossil fuel infrastructure? Just today: @MichiganPSC approved a $290m (of $583m) rate increase request for @DTE_Energy AND @Enbridge's pipeline through the Straits of Mackinac. 🧵

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

You don't need an engineering or law degree to know the truth this young man spoke at the hearing about @Enbridge: "They just want the money. They don't care" about our Great Lakes, our climate, and about the generations to come.

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

@DTE needs a reality check. Thx, Rev. Griffin of Pilgrim Baptist Church for speaking up for the most vulnerable and speaking out against corporate greed! @MichiganPSC @PlanetDetroit https://t.co/pn6b52y2PC

@PlanetDetroit @DTE_Energy @interfaithpower our handle is @MichiganIPL <3

[Fast Company @FastCompany]

Global automakers offer stylish, affordable #electricvehicles abroad—why not here? @ev_association @CenterForBioDiv and @MichiganIPL leaders say because of Detroit’s rear-view thinking, we have a long way to go before widespread #ev adoption in the U.S #ad https://t.co/3AvhTybMbg

“I hear we've been talking a lot at this conference about what will attract Generation Z to stay in Michigan or to come to Michigan. It’s not the country's biggest oil spill.” - @dananessel #ShutDownLine5 #mpc2023

Gas stoves are harmful to our health and our climate. Time to Pass on Gas!

Another reason we need a reliable grid: so people feel safe making the switch (since a gas stove can be used for emergency cooking and heating during the multi-day power outages we get here in Detroit).

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

@Brett_A_little @curious_founder Agreed! I'd love to hear from folks who have solar + battery backup here in Southeast MI, where climate impacts manifest at the intersection of intense storms and infrastructure failure, equaling multi-day power outages at least once a year.

[Interfaith Power & Light @interfaithpower]

@POTUS & House GOP are considering a #DirtyDeal right now that would weaken community input & rubber stamp dangerous fossil fuel projects. @POTUS, @ShalandaYoung46, & @SRicchetti46 – don’t make compromises that sacrifice our neighbors and our Sacred Earth. #PeopleOverPolluters

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

We are here today with representatives from 29 other @interfaithpower state affiliates, educating members and asking for their support for bold and just climate action! #faithsforclimate

[Interfaith Power & Light @interfaithpower]

IPL affiliates from DE, TX, and NC on the Hill advocating for climate justice today. #ActOnClimate #Faiths4Climate

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

Today, we met with staff from @SenGaryPeters’s office to discuss the Farm Bill and Permitting Reform. Thank you for your time and for your vigilance on our issues!

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

For the sake of our beloved communities and our Sacred Earth we are in Washington D.C. advocating for a more just and healthy environment for all. #ActOnClimate #faithsforclimate

[Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition @weareMEJC]

Soon after @POTUS's EO on Environmental Justice, @SecGranholm submitted a letter to support the Mountain Valley Pipeline. This is hypocrisy!

Fossil fuels are at the root of environmental injustice. Michigan stands in solidarity w/Appalachia AGAINST this dirty project.

[MichiganIPL @MichiganIPL]

Faith leaders from across Michigan are in Detroit, delivering a message to @GM: it’s time for action. GM must show their words have meaning by making real strides towards fulfilling their #electricvehicle commitments.
