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“Project Lights Out”—would roll back clean energy progress and force families to rely on some of the most expensive and outdated energy sources available.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.

Stand with Creation and Indigenous Nations: Our waters are holy. Our Great Lakes are life. Line 5 puts them at risk.

Join fellow people of faith in calling on the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to reject the Line 5 tunnel permit and honor the responsibility we have to care for Creation.

Michigan’s leaders must choose people over profit, stewardship over exploitation, and respect for treaty rights over corporate power.

EGLE is reviewing Enbridge's Line 5 tunnel permit application. Director Phil Roos has the authority to protect the Great Lakes and deny this permit, stopping a project that would move 23 million gallons of oil and natural gas liquids through our sacred waters every day.
