About this Event
Wherever you call home, we share this core belief. Michigan is ours to protect.
We’re all troubled by a federal agenda aimed to deregulate, defund and threaten the things we hold close: our air, waters, people and places we love. Repairing that federal architecture may take a generation—so we Michiganders have to step up. And the Michigan Environmental Council has the expertise and immense network to do just that. The Ours to Protect event series invites you into a conversation about what those solutions look like, and how you can help protect our state.
This event will focus on our work protecting Michigan’s Critical Dunes—which are not only part of the iconic scenery of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, but are also globally-rare. As the fedral administration defunds our national parks and aligns itself with corporate interests that put development first, it’s up to us to ensure our dunes are stewarded and protected from dangerous pollution that threatens the wildlife, ecosystems and tourism industry that are critical to our state.
That’s why we’re leading efforts to ban the use of plastic-wrapped sandbags on Lake Michigan’s coast; protect endangered wildlife like Piping Plovers; and hold corporate polluters accountable. We invite you to join us in this fight—because the Dunes, and Michigan, are ours to protect.
