Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action (MiCCA) retweeted
As @SenWhitehouse explains, “the more this administration rewards Trump’s fossil fuel donors, the more regular Americans are exposed to the risks and costs of climate change.”

Earlier this week, @SenatorSlotkin joined @beardfoundation to discuss the challenges restaurants are facing from climate change. Rising temperatures, shifting rain patterns, and extreme weather are all causing challenges and instability for farmers and independent restaurants.
When the administrator of the EPA treats public health protections as obstacles to corporate profit, the American people deserve accountability. They deserve an EPA that works for them, not against them. Lee Zeldin must go. #GameOverZeldin app.sosha.ai/s/quGgPjXq

$615,000 a day - that’s the cost on ratepayers of keeping this 64-year-old coal plant in west Michigan open.
Michigan families should not be forced to keep paying for power that’s deadlier, dirtier, more expensive, and less reliable than modern alternatives.
ICYMI: For our full perspective on the health harms of coal, see our published piece in Bridge: bridgemi.com/guest-commentar…
But this doesn't capture the toll coal presents to our public's health is beyond economic comprehension, as toxic emissions from coal contribute to overburdened health care systems, sick children, and preventable, premature deaths.
⭐️Welcome Naajia!! ⭐️
We are thrilled and grateful to welcome Naajia Shakir to our MiCCA team! She is joining as our Community Engagement Coordinator through the AmeriCorps Vista Program. 💙
Abandoning Michigan’s clean energy laws would raise the cost of electricity, pollute our air and water, and keep us reliant on expensive fossil fuels. Instead of propping up coal plants, let's build more clean energy that is affordable and reliable.

“When safeguards like this are removed the burden doesn’t just disappear it shifts to our patients and their families.”
Thank you Armaan Patel for using your voice.
Thank you @SenatorSueShink for this important fact check! The Virtual Power Plant program in Senate Bills 731 and 732 would only be triggered when it can save money.
“Every delay means more toxic exposure and more risk to public health. Coal ash contains arsenic, lead, mercury, and other hazardous pollutants. Weakening federal safeguards puts communities directly in harm’s way.”
Thank you Dr. Steven Ashmead for representing MiCCA!💙🩺
“Regulating tailpipe emissions is one of the most forward-thinking, cost-effective strategies to reduce air pollution and reverse the climate impacts we’re already seeing,” said Teresa Homsi, MPH, speaking on behalf of MiCCA.
