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

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 michiganindependent.com/2024/02/28/inf…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: HUNDREDS DEMAND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DO ITS FAIR SHARE FOR CLIMATE ACTION AT COP28 ✅ usfairshare.org/blog/for-immed… 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.

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. 🧵

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.

@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 planetdetroit.org/2023/12/opinio…

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

OPINION: @DTE_Energy needs a reality check: A changing climate brings increasingly intense and frequent storms. When these storms hit Detroit’s chronically disinvested electrical grid, the people we serve face a harsh reality: hunger. planetdetroit.org/2023/12/opinio… @interfaithpower

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 bit.ly/3OcQ5q0

“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).

@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.

I'm working on a story about battery storage. What should I be reading? Who should I be talking to? What questions do you have about storage?

@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

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

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!

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

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.

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.
