Our community is incredibly active, check out these other great radical organizations!
Ann Arbor for Public Power
Organization focused on creating municipal public power to divest from DTE in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area. We believe a municipal utility (also known as a “muni”) is the only way Ann Arbor can reach its renewable energy goals. Municipal utilities across the country are almost always cheaper than investor-owned utilities (IOUs) and often more reliable. Additionally, a muni would create strong local union jobs and keep utility money within the community. Rather than relying on DTE and its shareholders to make decisions for us, the Ann Arbor community would have control over our power and create a pathway for other communities to break free from DTE as well.
