About We the People

Whether we’re from the Lower or Upper Peninsula, the shores of Lake Erie or Lake Michigan, most of us pitch in for each other and hope to leave things better off for those to come.

But today, certain politicians and their greedy lobbyists hurt us all by handing kickbacks to the rich, defunding our schools, blocking free, universal health care, destroying our environment, and threatening seniors with cuts to Medicare and Social Security. They try to divide us from each other at work and in our communities because they know we’ll all flourish when we go all in for all of us.

By joining together, we can rewrite the rules, and make Michigan a place where everyone thrives and leads full, satisfying lives.

WHAT WE DO

WE ARE AN ENGINE FOR LEARNING

We The People’s lasting impact requires rigorous and disciplined organizing that is intentional around political education, storytelling, power mapping, racial healing, cultural organizing, and strong alliance building.

WE FOSTER STABLE, LONG-LASTING ALLIANCES

We foster stable, long-lasting alliances across urban, suburban, and rural communities that is explicitly multi-racial with a racial justice lens. We facilitate space for relationships, dialogue, and shared strategies across diverse communities

WE BUILD LONG-TERM DEEP ORGANIZING INFRASTRUCTURE

It’s critical that this work is not solely focused on elections. We also focus on local and regional issues that impact our communities, and on accountability for corporate and elite actors that often shape policy landscapes.
