We envision a clean energy future that benefits everyone – especially those most impacted by pollution and climate; creates good, family-sustaining jobs; and moves at the pace that science demands to prevent worsening climate impacts. Michigan made significant progress this year, and we have an opportunity to build on Governor Whitmer’s climate executive order and the 100% renewable energy bills introduced in the legislature to get the kind of bold climate justice solutions we need. Achieving this is going to take everyone, with environmental justice, labor, climate, and other movements coming together around a shared set of policies and priorities with frontline communities and environmental justice groups in the lead to ensure the solutions prioritize impacted communities and workers. MiCAN is seeking an Engagement Director to lead our coalition and movement building work in this direction, focusing on supporting the work in Southeast and West Michigan, where strong justice-led organizing and movement building is already happening and where we are already engaged in some of this work.
