As the largest historical climate polluter, we need the US to do its Fair Share to provide aid to countries on the frontlines of climate change. #Faiths4Climate #IPLConference24
Today we met with staffers from @RepRashida @RepSlotkin and @RepShriThanedar’s offices to advocate for strong International Climate Funding. @interfaithpower @YaleClimateComm
🌞 This fall, we helped Lord of Lords become the 1st Black church in Detroit to go #solar! "God gave us clean air, he gave us clean soil, he gave us clean water. And so I believe that this is just the right thing to do as people of faith.” #IRA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: HUNDREDS DEMAND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DO ITS FAIR SHARE FOR CLIMATE ACTION AT COP28 ✅ usfairshare.org/blog/for-imm… Help implore @JoeBiden and his administration to acknowledge & ACT on the US’ #HistoricalResponsibility at #COP28 to address the #climatecrisis
Why is @MichiganPSC rubber stamping corporate profits and new fossil fuel infrastructure? Just today: @MichiganPSC approved a $290m (of $583m) rate increase request for @DTE_Energy AND @Enbridge's pipeline through the Straits of Mackinac. 🧵
You don't need an engineering or law degree to know the truth this young man spoke at the hearing about @Enbridge: "They just want the money. They don't care" about our Great Lakes, our climate, and about the generations to come.

Global automakers offer stylish, affordable #electricvehicles abroad—why not here? @ev_association @CenterForBioDiv and @MichiganIPL leaders say because of Detroit’s rear-view thinking, we have a long way to go before widespread #ev adoption in the U.S #ad bit.ly/3OcQ5q0

“I hear we've been talking a lot at this conference about what will attract Generation Z to stay in Michigan or to come to Michigan. It’s not the country's biggest oil spill.” - @dananessel #ShutDownLine5 #mpc2023

ALT "I bring a sort of" meme format. It reads "I bring a sort of 'shut down line 5' vibe to Mackinac Policy Conference that corporate lobbyists don't really like"
Gas stoves are harmful to our health and our climate. Time to Pass on Gas!
Another reason we need a reliable grid: so people feel safe making the switch (since a gas stove can be used for emergency cooking and heating during the multi-day power outages we get here in Detroit).

@POTUS & House GOP are considering a #DirtyDeal right now that would weaken community input & rubber stamp dangerous fossil fuel projects. @POTUS, @ShalandaYoung46, & @SRicchetti46 – don’t make compromises that sacrifice our neighbors and our Sacred Earth. #PeopleOverPolluters
We are here today with representatives from 29 other @interfaithpower state affiliates, educating members and asking for their support for bold and just climate action! #faithsforclimate
IPL affiliates from DE, TX, and NC on the Hill advocating for climate justice today. #ActOnClimate #Faiths4Climate

Soon after @POTUS's EO on Environmental Justice, @SecGranholm submitted a letter to support the Mountain Valley Pipeline. This is hypocrisy!
Fossil fuels are at the root of environmental injustice. Michigan stands in solidarity w/Appalachia AGAINST this dirty project.
Faith leaders from across Michigan are in Detroit, delivering a message to @GM: it’s time for action. GM must show their words have meaning by making real strides towards fulfilling their #electricvehicle commitments.
#ICYMI: @interfaithpower attended @mtbarra’s panel at #SXSW last week.
Long story short, @GM continues to talking big #EV game, but they never deliver. Find out more about their empty promises ⬇️
IPL is live at SXSW! In just an hour and a half, GM CEO @mtbarra is speaking about cars of the future – but will she be honest about GM’s electric promises? We’ll be there to find out! Tune in to help us keep @GM accountable on their promises ⬇️ schedule.sxsw.com/2023/event…

GM CEO @mtbarra says that GM will sell 1 million #electricvehicles in two years, but in 2022, they sold less than 40,000 EVs.
@GM, if you can’t ramp up #EV production, can we really have faith in you to go all-electric by 2035?
We are excited to announce the Sacred Spaces project, which brings $1.1m in #energyefficiency to 11 MI congregations! 😲 Congratulations to all who were selected!! Read the full story: miipl.org/sacred-spaces @EGLE @WorldRenew @ClimateWitnessP @EcoworksDetroit @energystar
