Movement Building

We have a long and respected track record of building functional coalitions of (sometimes unlikely) partners that get things done and advance smart public policies. We are just one of over 750 environmental and conservation organizations statewide. When united, we have the ability to scale up policy advocacy capacity in a big way. The Environmental Council strives to serve as a connector between these allies, building a movement that works collaboratively to combat our critical issues.

Two women discuss pressing environmental issues at the 2023 MEC Annual Meeting; two additional participants stand just out of focus in the background.

We’re building a member network that can achieve big policy change for Michigan.

In our vision for movement building, the Environmental Council is the nucleus of Michigan’s powerful, well-connected and diverse environmental movement. We will do this by:

  • Building trusting relationships with our environmental allies across the state, whom we call upon when building strong support for policies that protect our state;
  • Convening environmental and conservation organizations to build a cohesive and united environmental policy agenda; and
  • Connecting advocates with each other, elected officials and allies who are working towards common goals.
