Lobbying

Please join the Michigan Equal Pay Coalition for the 2019 Equal Pay Lobby Day!

Governor Whitmer, state legislators, a representative from U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin’s office, and others will be featured presenters to give us updates on state and federal efforts. Twenty-two bills to strengthen Michigan’s equal pay laws will be introduced that day. After a box lunch, we will visit targeted legislative offices to distribute information about Michigan’s pay gap and how legislation could help to narrow it.

Join us to talk to state lawmakers about MICare, the state single payer bill! It is crucial that we show up and make lawmakers aware of single payer, and tell our stories! Meet at Grand Traverse Pie Co a block from the Capitol at 9:30--a quick orientation will be provided!

Come help us talk to state lawmakers about MICare, the State Single Payer bill introduced last year by Yousef Rabhi! This is a crucial process--we need to explain single payer to legislators, ask for their support, and gather their feedback about single payer for Michigan. We are trying to get over 20 cosponsors! Meet at Grand Traverse Pie Co. and we will hand out lit and do a quick training before going to meet our state congresspeople! (NOTE: We had to change the date to April 9th please take note!) .

Michigan’s 100th Legislature is now in session. With a pro-environment Governor and more evenly divided House and Senate, it is critical that all the new lawmakers in Lansing are brought up to speed on our environmental priorities for 2019.

Join Michigan LCV on Tuesday, December 4 in Lansing (the House Democrats Press Room, House Office Building, 11th floor) to tell lawmakers that we demand PFAS action NOW.

We’ll be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with experts and residents who have been impacted by PFAS-contaminated drinking water and lobbying lawmakers to urge them to act.

On Nov 28, One Fair Wage and our statewide allies will host a legislative education day at the State Capitol. This will be an important day for us as we will be going directly to lawmakers to urge them to stand with Michigan's 1.3 million minimum wage workers by protecting the raise they won.
