The Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition hosts the Statewide EJ Summit every two years bringing together hundreds of frontline and fenceline activists, allies and accomplices to share in stories and strategies for achieving a safer, cleaner, more vibrant future. In 2018, we gathered in Flint with activists and talked water, energy, prisons, schools, housing and toxic air pollution.

This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the first EJ Summit in Michigan hosted by Drs. Bunyan Bryant and Paul Mohai, as well as many others to put JUSTICE on the "environmental" map. Racism, the distribution of environmental hazards, has increased over the last 25 years--not gone down! We are more poisoned now from toxic waste, lead in the water, and contaminated air. YET our community vision keepers are pushing for clean water, good food, wages, better schools, freedom from police violence,  access to renewable energy, Indigenous land rights, and healthcare--and more, OUR LIVES.

Our solutions are abundant! That is why we are calling on you to share who, what, where, when, why--connecting our movement and making us more powerful. THIS YEAR'S SUMMIT WILL BE 100% VIRTUAL.

THIS YEAR'S TRACKS ARE:
1. Healing and Culture
2. Campaign Action
3. Know your History
4. Climate Justice!

A description of the TRACKS can be found on our website: michiganej,org/mejc-summit
