This is Ryan Clancy with WDET, Detroit’s NPR station. Being a life-long Michigander, the film you participated in, “Great Lakes, Bad Lines,” had a major impact on me. I recently spent a summer working in Charlevoix, dedicating my weekends to exploring the Upper Peninsula and, in the process, learning a great deal about the concerns residents had about Line 5. That same concern exists here in Detroit. So many of us consider Up North our favorite place to hike, fish, bike and vacation. We understand that a spill four hours away from us, in the straights of Mackinac, would damage all of Michigan’s water systems. At WDET, we love teaming up with organizations like your own to spread relevant, immediate issues to 150,000 weekly listeners.
I’m interested in discussing the possibility of partnership between our organizations. You can reach me by phone at (248)467-2260 or by email at [email protected] I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Keep up the good work!
Best,
Ryan Clancy
This is Wendy Johnson, Vendor Coordinator with the Earthwork Harvest Gathering. I’m checking in to invite you and/or someone else from Oil & Water Don’t Mix would to have a presence at our gathering, Sept 16-18, 2016, in Lake City, Michigan. We would love for you to have a table in our highly trafficked non-profit area on the main path. We’re expecting around 2500 folks and many of them are compassionate, engaged citizens looking to get more involved. Thank you!
Here is a link to the festival:

On Sunday June 26th I began the 1,000 mile Trek around the Lower Penninsula. Along the way I’ve been collecting stories for the Love Your Lakes Storytelling Campaign. The goal of the Love Your Lakes Campaign is to record stories of people’s favorite memories around the lake while sharing the truth about Enbridge’s Line 5. As I encounter people along the lakeshore at beaches and marinas I would like to give them the opportunity to sign your petition. Do you have fliers and petitions that I can hand out as I walk?
You can follow the journey @ facebook.com/loveyourlakes
Thank You

I am a local Detroit resident and recently, this disastrous pipeline crossing our Great Lakes has been brought to my attention. This is an issue that needs solving now! I created an online and paper petition to get my fellow community and much more involved. So far, I have received a 100 signatures on my written petition and growing, really, I am just getting started! I have half of the carpenters Union, many local business’, and corporations involved. I would like to send my two fully signed petitions over to this organization, once completed. I feel with the right people and enough to care, together we could make a difference! So let’s get this pipe line out of our beautiful water and put where it belongs! Please email me back. I’m willing to make this difference and so should Michigan!
Thank you for caring,
Candice Szyndlar.

I am a reporter at FOX 2 in Detroit, and recently I’ve been sent a tip about your website…I am horrified to learn the risk being taken here with our Great Lakes. I would love to pitch a story to my boss for my photog and I to get a day or two to travel up north and put an investigative story together on this. Please shoot me and email when you can so we can set up a time to talk more on this soon.
Thank you,

You may have heard that on December 12th, students, community members, and anyone concerned about climate change and climate justice are gathering in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In solidarity with 350.org’s day of global action, we’re calling on people from all over the state and nearby regions to come to Ann Arbor and join us to march for a just transition to 100% renewables by 2050.
Many of you have reached out to us, asking how you and your organizations can be involved and support for our cause. In order to show solidarity with this march around the state, we are forming a coalition to create a unified movement to build our common future. This coalition won’t stop at the march though, but will continue to strive for our goal of prompting significant action on climate change – such as a demonstration in our capitol in April.
Climate change is an issue that affects us all, but the hardest effects are felt by those most vulnerable. We need to transition to a fair and clean energy future. Climate change is an issue we can all rally behind for all sort of issues: environmental justice, racial justice, social justice, labor unions, indigenous groups, faith groups, education, environmental groups, etc. We are asking you to join our coalition, and TOGETHER we can determine the demands for this march to our elected officials.
To join the coalition, please reach out to [email protected] or [email protected] Feel free to forward this email to other groups who might be interested in joining the coalition!
In Solidarity,
The Michigan Climate March Organizers
