Since 1912, we’ve put the people of Michigan at the forefront of our mission.

We remain dedicated to building equity and opportunity for all.

The People’s Budget
The League’s 2025 State Budget Priorities start with the people of Michigan, including community partners, advocates and service providers. We pair their input with our data and research to develop budget and policy solutions that lift up Michiganders who have been left out of prosperity.

2024 Public Policy Forum
Join us on April 15 for our annual Public Policy Forum. This year’s event will feature keynote speakers Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and Dr. Luke Schaefer, who will share bold policy solutions to eradicate poverty. A panel of experts will also explore how we can use powerful policy tools to improve outcomes for Michiganders. Register today for this free event.

REGISTER: Racial Equity Challenge
Signing up for the Challenge today will give you access to our daily reflection tool along with emails to guide you along the way. The Challenge is open to anyone who is interested in doing the hard work of combating racial injustice, so please share the link with friends and colleagues who might be interested. There is no cost to participate.
