Quick Actions
• Call your Michigan senator and representative to ask them to take NO legislative action on the Money Out of Politics initiative so that the measure can be passed by voters on the November ballot. Tell them you as a constituent and voter want the final say on keeping money out of politics. You can record the results of your call here to help Voters Not Politicians track the legislators who’ve pledged NO LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
• Consider writing a letter to the editor (like this one about the the Campbell plant) to support local discussions of what’s important to our shared future.
• Join the Allegan Conservation District’s march in the Allegan County Fair’s opening parade on September 14 at 5pm. The theme for the fair is blue jeans, so dress appropriately. Contact The Allegan Conservation District for more details.
• Think about how you could help Hope For Neighbors. If you can write letters, visit detainees, provide transportation, or adopt a commisary account, fill out this form. You can also donate to the general fund or the bond fund (Mosaic Church acts as the fiduciary for Hope for Neighbors).
Get informed. Then get active.
