We are a broad, statewide coalition working to reform our broken immigration system,

protect our environment and end mass incarceration.

If you're frustrated — watching corporations bankroll politicians while your utility bills go up and your power still goes out — you're not alone. Michiganders have had enough.

There's a plan to take money out of Michigan politics.

Mop Up Michigan

Michigan’s government should work for people, not powerful corporations.

Whether you’ve got five minutes or five hours, your time matters. We’re going to need volunteers to collect signatures, knock doors, spread the word, and help bring this ballot initiative to life.

Care Over Cost

We hold health insurers accountable for covered but unpaid benefits. Together, we are working to transform our health care system to put people over profit.

Transformative Justice

We believe that we can keep our communities safe from crime and reduce the number of people in prison. We're working to reform the policies of the police, schools, prosecutors, as well as reform sentencing guidelines and improve release services.

Election Protection

We're on a mission to safeguard the integrity of every election, ensuring that the democratic process remains fair, accessible, and representative of all voices.
