Our Mission
The Unity & Justice Fund exists to elect candidates committed to just domestic and foreign policies that reflect our core values.
Justice: We fight for a fair and equitable society where laws and policies are applied uniformly and every person's rights are protected.
Unity: We believe in the power of solidarity and collective action. By uniting diverse communities behind shared purpose, we build the political strength to drive meaningful change.
Compassion: We support candidates who prioritize the well-being of all people — especially the most vulnerable — and govern with empathy at the center of every decision.
Join Our Team:
We are building teams of dedicated, part time canvassers across Michigan to educate, engage, and mobilize our communities around our endorsed candidates for the upcoming 2026 primary election.
Canvassers will have one-on-one conversations with voters in their communities and at public events. These meaningful conversations will revolve around our progressive policies and candidates that are looking to improve the lives of those in our community, Michigan, and the country. These conversations will require skills in relationship building, communications, problem solving, and adaptability.
Candidates will gain experience in: metric driven goals, communication & advocacy, community engagement, political campaigns, and relationship building.
