Raise your voice to support energy solutions that are affordable, sustainable, and just for all.

A new proposal from Michigan lawmakers—which we’re calling “Project Lights Out”—would roll back clean energy progress and force families to rely on some of the most expensive and outdated energy sources available. We’ve already seen what this approach costs: keeping the aging Campbell coal plant running is draining hundreds of thousands of dollars every day—costs that ultimately fall on everyday Michigan households.

At a time when many are already struggling with rising prices, this proposal would deepen an existing crisis. Across Michigan, energy costs are placing a heavy burden on families. Experts define an affordable energy burden as no more than 6% of household income. Yet nearly one in four Michigan households exceeds that threshold—forcing families to make impossible choices between keeping the lights on and meeting other basic needs.

This is not just a policy issue—it is a moral one.

From urban neighborhoods to rural towns, communities across our state share this challenge. High energy burdens disproportionately impact seniors, low-income families, and those already facing economic hardship. As people of faith, we are called to care for those most at risk and to seek justice in the systems that affect their daily lives.

Project Lights Out moves us in the wrong direction—raising costs, increasing inequality, and placing even greater strain on those who can least afford it.

Now is the time to act.

We invite you to raise your voice by contacting your legislators and urging them to say “no” to Project Lights Out and instead support energy solutions that are affordable, sustainable, and just for all.

Across the country, climate change are communities are putting lives at risk while facing record heat, devastating wildfires, severe floods, and other extreme weather disasters that are growing more frequent and destructive. Proactive climate action is needed to deliver justice for the communities that were hit the hardest by weather disasters.

Join us in signing this petition demanding that Congress takes urgent action against climate change. 

For Michigan retirees living on fixed incomes, the Trump administration’s plan to open 13.1 million acres of public land to coal mining is more than a national issue — it threatens household budgets and public health here at home. By forcing plants like the J.H. Campbell coal plant on Lake Michigan to stay open past their planned retirement and directing $625 million in new investments to prop up aging coal facilities, these policies risk driving up electric bills for Michigan's retirees while increasing air pollution that can worsen heart and lung conditions many older adults already face.

Join us in signing this petition demanding that Trump retire the coal plants! 

President Trump's "Polluter First" agenda favored costly coal power for billionaires at the expense of our health and environment. Renewable energy, on the other hand, has delivered $300 billion in health benefits, saving money and protecting families from pollution. We oppose coal bailouts that increase our bills and pollution levels and demand a transition to renewable energy for a cleaner future.

Sign this petition to tell Trump's administration that we oppose coal bailouts.
