Why?

You will receive your ballot at home ~45 days before every election.
You can vote anytime you feel like it and use the postage-paid envelope to mail your ballot back OR drop it in your nearest drop box (see below).
You can use MIvoter.org at your leisure to learn about the candidates, ballot proposals, and deadlines, and to find your nearest drop box.
You don’t have to worry about being sick or stuck at work on Election Day, or about lines or intimidation at the polls.

How?

You can request a ballot online if you’re already registered to vote in Michigan and check the option to automatically receive ballots for all future elections.
Learn everything else about registration and voting through the links at MIvoter.org

We need YOU to help Mop Up Michigan!

Our allies at MOP UP Michigan need all of our help! They write, “We have 41 days until signatures are due to turn into the Secretary of State’s office on May 27th. We are on track to hit our goal and turn in the required 356,958 valid signatures, but if we fall short by just 1 signature, our collective effort to get money out of politics will be off the table until 2028.” Make it a priority to help.

Here are three ways:

Become a signature gatherer! It’s fun and easy – a handful of signatures matters! Find an upcoming event for signature gatherers here: https://www.mobilize.us/mmop/
Volunteer now for any role here: https://mopupmichigan.org/action/volunteer/. Anyone who signs up will immediately receive all the information they need to get started, but just in case, an MMOP team member will reach out to them within 24 hours.
Tell everyone you know that they can get a petition by mail to sign here: https://mopupmichigan.org/petition/

NOW is the time to turn out to restore our collective voices in politics by getting dark money out!

Tell Our Congresswoman and Senators: No More Money for This Illegal War!

It’s vital for us to contact Senators Peters and Slotkin, and Congresswoman Dingell, to stress that we oppose any more funding for the illegal war in Iran.

Take action!

You can always find their contact information at mivoter.org. But for your convenience, here are their office numbers:

Congresswoman Debbie Dingell: (734) 481-1100; D.C. (202) 225-4071
Senator Gary Peters: Michigan (313) 226-6020; D.C. (202) 224-6221
Senator Elisa Slotkin: Michigan (313) 961-4330; D.C. (202) 224-4822

Here’s a suggested script:

Congresswoman / Senator, thank you for vote insisting on Congressional approval for the exercise of war powers. Your vote was an important first step toward reasserting congressional authority over decisions about war and military engagement.

With the federal government’s trillion-dollar defense budget and tens of billions in new funding for ICE, it has access to more than enough money to support our troops. Our communities need investments in healthcare, education, housing, food security, and climate solutions—not ever-growing military budgets. To be quite clear: I strongly oppose any more money for this illegal war.
