New poll: 4 out of 5 Michiganders want lawmakers to do more to regulate data center growth. And 76% are at least somewhat concerned AI could reduce good-paying jobs.

It’s time for stronger laws that protect our air, water, and energy bills.

In the Northern Express, our executive director Justin Mendoza explains why Con-Con is too risky:

New poll: 46% of Michiganders say the cost of health insurance is their top healthcare concern, far ahead of out-of-pocket costs (26%) and prescription drugs (7%).

Families need relief now, and a system where costs don’t keep climbing.

The “Education Freedom Tax Credit” is a scam: tens of billions in taxpayer money that would drain public schools serving all 1.4 million Michigan students. Thanks, Gov. Whitmer, for opting out. Fund public schools, not repackaged DeVos nonsense.

New poll: tell Michiganders what's at stake with a Constitutional Convention and support drops 6 points while opposition jumps 8.

Michiganders fought to protect reproductive freedom and voting rights, and ConCon lets special interests put them at risk.

This nation was founded on grave wrongs done to indigenous peoples. We can't undo the damage wrought by colonialism, but we can and will fight to protect indigenous communities, honor tribal treaty rights, and preserve the land and water people have held dear for centuries.

On or before Nov. 3: Vote NO on Prop 1 (Con-Con) and YES on Prop 2 (Money Out of Politics).

Con-Con would open the door for billionaires and special interests to rewrite our Constitution. Prop 2 gets corporate money out of politics.
