OUR FOUNDATION:

The People's Coalition was founded in 2025, with strong energy and connections coming from a frustrated electorate, post-2024 election. Using our civic rights is one of the most powerful ways we can make our voices heard, and The People's Coalition is working hard across Party, class, and identity lines to unite diverse communities, advocate for justice, equity, and sustainability. Through solidarity, education, and grassroots organizing, we aim to dismantle systems of oppression and create lasting systems that prioritize people over profit, equity over privilege, justice over inequality.

We do this by engaging in causes and actions that matter to us (anti-ICE and anti-War), standing in solidarity with our neighbors. We also do this work by endorsing candidates that align with our values, and educating and supporting voters (and potential voters) up and down Michigan.

WHAT WE'VE ACHIEVED:

Our recent organizing wins include

April 2026: Organized massive turnout for the MDP Endorsement Convention, with over 7,000 Michiganders participating in Detroit, with over 20 partner organizations from across the state
April 2026: 7 of our 8 endorsed candidates WON party endorsement for statewide leadership roles, including Attorney General, Secretary of State, University of Michigan Regent, and more!
August 2026: In the Aug 4th Primary election, 14 of our 22 endorsed candidates with contested races WON their primary and will advance to the Nov 3 General Election, including Abdul El-Sayed for State Senate, Donavan McKinney for Congress!
Helped contribute to BREAKING statewide Voter Turnout Records for a Primary Election!

WHAT'S NEXT? GENERAL ELECTION, NOV 3RD 2026:

Now we have over 35 endorsed candidates, progressives and working class advocates from across Michigan that will be competing in the General Election, to be your next Congresspeople, Senator, State Senators, State Representatives, and more. We will be supporting our slate of endorsed candidates in multiple ways, including:

holding events across the state
phonebanking
canvassing/doorknocking
sending supportive mailers
community candidate Meet & Greets

This work is only possible with your support!

Progressive candidates succeed when we put dedicated effort and real dollars into voter education, sharing voting logistics and information, registering and turning out first-time voters AND disenfranchised voters who decide to re-engage. This grassroots mobilizing work is the core of The People's Coalition; meeting people where they are, sharing the crucial information they need in order to get engage, and removing barriers to participation!

Your contribution goes directly to supporting this work. Thank You.
