Let’s Rise Up & Drawdown Carbon in Michigan
A conference on climate change solutions
On September 25, 2019 the Michigan Community will come together in Grand Rapids to offer local solutions and opportunities for engagement on the important subject of climate change. The stakes have never been higher and will require action at every scale and across every sector.

This month we will be "at home" for a casual meeting. For those new to CCL, we will spend a little time talking about how we are organized and where you might find a place to fit in. Then we will follow the theme of our national program for September and have a discussion about why we are so divided and what we can do about it. We would love to hear your thoughts on this important topic!

In March, Governor Whitmer unveiled her proposed budget. It included a $507 million funding increase for schools, with a focus on students in special education and in poverty.

NOW WHAT???!!

The proposed budget has to go through a complicated process in the Legislature, and we will have to fight to get that funding increase through.

So, join us at this town hall near you for a breakdown of what's been proposed, what we still need, and how we can win it all. You'll leave with your own action plan to make a difference.

Come join our group of Bernie Sanders supporters as we share information and strategize on how best to get our candidate elected and share community information that helps make us better citizens. Bring ideas, a dish to share and whatever you want to drink.
