Our Energy Bills Are Too Damn High - Michigan Public Service Commission Rally & Meeting

May 29, 2025 | Detroit, MI
Michiganders pay the highest costs for energy in the Midwest with some of the worst reliability in the country. And now, DTE wants to raise our rates again to the tune of $574 million. We keep paying more and our service doesn't get any better while big CEOs profit. Join us for a rally at 5 p.m. and then make your voice heard to Michigan Public Service Commission state energy regulators at the town hall.

He took voting in Presidential elections seriously, insisting on driving me to the polls when I cast my first vote.

A Summer Summary: My Minnesota Clean Water Internship

August 14, 2023 | By Alex Perez
After interning at Clean Water Action, I have been able to learn so much and improve my understanding of how our organization works and fits in as a larger piece of the nonprofit world. By educating yourself about the surrounding community, inspiring care in not only you but those around you, can go the distance to make sure we are able to elevate everyone.
