No more smoke screens: Michigan must address dismal air quality

Join us for a virtual community roundtable on Detroit’s air pollution—from this summer’s extreme wildfire smoke, to gaps in the protections meant to keep our air safe. We’ll break down a controversial state proposal to exclude 21 days of high ozone pollution from Detroit’s air quality record, making the region’s air look cleaner on paper than it really is. Hear what this could mean for the health of Detroit-area residents, why accurate air quality data matters and how the public can push for stronger enforcement of clean air protections.

Speakers include:

• Nick Leonard — Great Lakes Environmental Law Center

• Mary-Jacqueline K. Muli, BSN, RN — Climate Justice Nurse

• Sandra Turner-Handy — Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice

• Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib
