Green Amendment Treats – No Trick
Gathering To Leave A Legacy of Protection – Will You Join Us?
Have you gotten your hand addressed letter yet in which Maya shares the amazing progress that GAFTG has made in the past 10 years, and asks for your support? If you haven’t, our incredible volunteers have it in the works and it should be arriving in your mailbox some time soon.
Since the beginning of October volunteers have been gathering to help us put personal notes on EVERY letter we send asking for support. So far over 20 volunteers are investing their precious free time to help support the Green Amendment movement in this way.

Please reward their dedication to the Green Amendment movement with a donation of support.
As we celebrate the 10 Years Anniversary of the Green Amendment movement, the incredible progress we’ve made towards realizing and upholding fundamental constitutional environmental rights for all, and the wonderful partners and friends we’ve made along the way – GAFTG is also facing a very real gap in the funding and needs your support.

Gloria’s Story
The Journey of Advocating For a Green Amendment is Powerful.
While securing a Green Amendment provides unparalleled legal strength for advancing environmental protection and justice, the process of advocating for Green Amendment protections also provides incredible benefits. Here is one example of how. Read Gloria’s Story:
For the past two years I have been seeking signatures in support of Michigan having a Green Amendment. I do this by attending climate related events and our local farmers market. As a part of my encouragement to support the Michigan Green Amendment I explain at this point anyone living in MI can sign, regardless of age or voting status.
This year in late April early June, I was standing at the entrance of the farmers market promoting our Michigan Green Amendment event and sharing that the Michigan Green Amendment was just introduced in the state congress. A woman, who thought I was asking for a signature for something else, stopped when I told her it was for a Michigan Green Amendment event. She stopped and said last year she and her 12 year old son signed in support adding that her son is very interested in the climate and it is something that is discussed in his school. I had, hot off the press, the wording of the Michigan Green Amendment that was introduced in congress by Rep Rachel Hood. I gave her the only copy I had of the proposed amendment to give to her son. “Tell him it is now before the legislature.”
In all the connections I make in my outreach, this one is the most meaningful. Talking to the children asking them if they think they have a right to clean air, water, soil, and hearing their answers is enjoyable.
