Excited to share our brief introductory video showcasing the impactful work of the Detroit Grassroots Coalition. Our efforts include holding the Detroit Reparations Task Force accountable and rallying grassroots advocacy for reparative justice. You'll see how we leverage media outreach, town halls, and letters to influential bodies like the CBC, Detroit NAACP, and city officials. Our commitment has opened doors, allowing us to engage with key figures directly like City Council President Mary Sheffield. We invite you to participate in this important and historical effort towards lineage-based reparative justice. Together, we can work towards resolving the generational issues that impact our financial well-being, ensuring a more equitable future for generations to come. We thank you for your continued support!
I'm thrilled to share the incredible work we've been doing on reparations here in Detroit. Join us to hear how the @DETGRC313 is moving the needle for Reparative justice and learn how we can partner and network together to bring our local efforts to the state level in Michigan 🤟🏾
