How it works

Joining Opportunity Michigan is as simple as providing your name, email address and ZIP code. Your name will be added to our email list and you will receive regular policy updates and information about coming Opportunity Michigan activities.

Submit ideas for articles to be featured by our investigative journalism publication, Michigan Capitol Confidential.
Communicate with our legal team, which represents individuals across the state who may encounter unnecessary government barriers that harm themselves or their families.

Participate in events organized by the Mackinac Center on issues you care about.

The Mackinac Center has been a champion of freedom in Michigan for over three decades, through our research, educational programs, investigative journalism and litigation. Opportunity Michigan offers a means for the people of Michigan to become directly engaged in this work and join with the Mackinac Center in becoming agents for positive change in Michigan.
