Our Mission
MI-SAFETY exists to give Michigan residents a voice in protecting their homes, families, and communities from unsafe energy projects and careless legislative decisions.
Too often, utility companies, local elected officials, developers, and their lobbyists push projects through with little transparency or accountability. Politicians make promises to defend their constituents, but when faced with pressure from deep-pocketed interests, they frequently side with industry instead of the people they serve. That leaves ordinary citizens to live with the consequences — from noisy substations to hazardous battery storage sites and sprawling utility-scale solar farms.
Michigan is Your Home.
We are Your Neighbors.
Together Our Voice is Loud.
At MI-SAFETY, we are not a political organization and we do not play sides. We are voters and your neighbors. The votes cast by our team span all sides of the aisle — as it should be for any healthy organization in the United States. What unites us is not partisanship, but a shared commitment to the promise of the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Our focus is on facts and community safety, not party affiliation. We will always call out elected officials who fail to protect their constituents — and we will just as readily applaud those who stand up for the safety and rights of the people they represent, regardless of party.
Facts and History Cannot be Ignored.
Across Michigan, and around the world, there are real news stories of fires, explosions, environmental damage, taxpayer-funded cleanups, and politicians ignoring the warnings while their campaign coffers fill with corporate donations. We feature these stories so that residents have the information developers and lobbyists would rather keep quiet.
Our mission is to provide fact-based information, research, and resources so residents can understand the risks, speak up at meetings, and organize for stronger local protections. We focus on practical issues that matter: fire safety, environmental health, noise, zoning compatibility, taxpayer liability, and community well-being.
Fighting to Stop the Dust Bowl for Michigan
Our first major priority is Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) then to be followed up with Solar Farms. These projects have been spreading across Michigan in a “gold rush” fueled by incentives and weak oversight. While storage can be a useful technology, the way it is being deployed today places unacceptable burdens on local families. Fires, toxic leaks, abandonment of damaged sites, and incompatible siting next to homes and schools are just some of the risks communities face.
We are not against renewable energy or responsible innovation. What we oppose are unsafe, unaccountable projects forced onto neighborhoods without consent or safeguards. We advocate for common-sense solutions: industrial-only siting, clear fire codes, escrow and decommissioning funds, noise protections, and meaningful community involvement.
When officials fail, neighbors must stand together.
MI-SAFETY is here to ensure Michigan citizens are informed, connected, and have the confidence to take up the microphone, pen, and ballots to protect the places we call home.
