Michiganders For Money Out Of Politics

Michigan’s government should work for people, not powerful corporations.

But regulated monopolies and big government contractors have used political contributions to drown out the voices of everyday Michiganders.

Michiganders for Money Out of Politics (MMOP) is a grassroots campaign working to get big money out of our elections. Led by the Taking Back Our Power coalition, we’re building toward a statewide ballot initiative to ban political contributions from regulated monopoly corporations and major state contractors.

Because our democracy should never be for sale.
