About Us
People. Before profits.
Who We Are
Michigan United Action is a statewide organization of leaders working for economic and racial justice. We use the tools of community organizing and civic engagement to advocate for change. We are deeply committed to ensuring that our government reflects the needs of all people in our state, not just the wealthy and powerful.
We are a multi-racial organization with membership in Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.
Our Mission
By working together to create a new pole in American politics, we believe we can forge a more just and sustainable future. We are committed to a participatory democracy at every level, an economy that works for the many, and a society that dismantles racism while uplifting our common humanity.

Join "Taking Back our Power" and take a stand against money in Michigan politics
We are a coalition of working families in Michigan fighting to pass comprehensive state legislation to prevent regulated monopoly corporations and companies seeking government contracts from making political contributions. We can no longer let them buy their way out of accountability and drown out the voice of the people!
Join "Care Over Cost" and help us get people the healthcare coverage promised by their insurers
In Michigan and all across the country, our members are fighting individual care denials and are WINNING people the care they need--and paid fo! Together, we are working to transform our health care system to put Care Over Cost and people over profit.
Become a Relational Organizer
Relational organizing is defined as “preparing & supporting people to bring the power within their existing relationships to affect change.” In actuality is it turning a contact into a conversation and then into a person empowered to create change where they live.
