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.” #IRAmichiganindependent.com/2024…
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.
“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
ALT "I bring a sort of" meme format. It reads "I bring a sort of 'shut down line 5' vibe to Mackinac Policy Conference that corporate lobbyists don't really like"
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).
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
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
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!
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.
#ICYMI: @interfaithpower attended @mtbarra’s panel at #SXSW last week.
Long story short, @GM continues to talking big #EV game, but they never deliver. Find out more about their empty promises ⬇️
IPL is live at SXSW! In just an hour and a half, GM CEO @mtbarra is speaking about cars of the future – but will she be honest about GM’s electric promises? We’ll be there to find out! Tune in to help us keep @GM accountable on their promises ⬇️ schedule.sxsw.com/2023/event…
GM CEO @mtbarra says that GM will sell 1 million #electricvehicles in two years, but in 2022, they sold less than 40,000 EVs.
@GM, if you can’t ramp up #EV production, can we really have faith in you to go all-electric by 2035?
