Your gift is more than a donation&mdash;it&rsquo;s a powerful statement that Michigan&rsquo;s waters, fisheries, and communities deserve better than a century of dam damage. For over 100 years, Consumers Energy&rsquo;s dams have impaired the Manistee, Au Sable, Muskegon, and other globally unique coldwater rivers. Now, with the proposed sale to private equity interests, the risks to our environment, ratepayers, and public safety are greater than ever.Because of you, we are able to:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Stand strong in the Michigan Public Service Commission proceedings with expert legal representation.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Amplify the voices of anglers, conservationists, and communities across the state.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Push for a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to restore free‑flowing rivers and prevent future catastrophes.</li></ul>Your support helps ensure that public interests&mdash;not private profits&mdash;determine the fate of Michigan&rsquo;s waters. Together, we can end a century of harm and unlock the full ecological and recreational potential of our rivers. We&rsquo;ll keep you updated as this campaign moves forward. In the meantime, know that your commitment is already making a difference. With gratitude,Gabe Schneider, Chairman Michigan Trout Unlimited
