Science tells us we must cut climate emissions in half this decade to prevent climate catastrophe. It's all hands on deck to prevent the worst impacts of the climate crisis through small actions that add up. Take action using a suggestion below.
- Tell Biden to shut down the Enbridge Line 5 crude oil pipeline. The pipeline threatens the Great Lakes and our warming climate. Join the campaign that has the best chance of shutting down an operating pipeline and helping to force a transition to carbon-free energy.
- Sign on for a Strong Michigan Healthy Climate Plan. In September 2020, Gov. Whitmer took major executive action and committed our state to be carbon neutral by 2050. The state is currently developing a plan for achieving this goal, and we must get it right. Add your name to our letter, urging specific actions to achieve our goals.
- Educate your representatives and policymakers about climate change. Any time you can meet with your lawmaker to express your concern for climate action, you help spur action. Check out our talking points, the guide to running a good meeting, and sample letters to the editor.
- Join MiCAN as a member (it's free!) The people and organizations that make up our network make the climate movement possible. You can view our organizational members here and learn about local climate work in your community.
- Attend climate events in your area and invite others to get involved. Together, we can make a difference.
- Donate to MiCAN to support our work in building our climate movement, elevate climate as a top issue, and advance ambitious and equitable solutions.
Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will. - W. Clement Stone
