The Power
is in us.
Michigan Voices (MV) coordinates a coalition of social justice organizations that are led by and engage Black, Brown, Indigenous, LGBTQ+ people, and those with disabilities and provides resources to help these organizations become self-sustaining in their mission to shape a future defined by fairness, equality, and shared prosperity.
MV, an affiliate of State Voices, was established in 2005 as the statewide civic engagement collaborative table to educate, engage, activate, and protect underrepresented and disenfranchised communities and to ensure their full and equitable access to the democratic process.
Our mission is to build strategic power by serving as the collaborative space for 501(c)(3) organizations that are on the frontlines of protecting and transforming our democracy to collectivize and scale up the impact of their civic engagement, voter participation, and issue-advocacy efforts.
