Advancing democracy, civic power, and racial equity in Detroit.

The Detroit Equity Action Lab works to co-create a multiracial and multigenerational network of racial equity leaders and equip them with tools to disrupt racism and create equitable alternatives together. The lab offers a year-long fellowship program for emerging and experienced leaders with a deep commitment to racial equity. You can learn more about the fellowship here.

We aim to spark meaningful conversations about democracy, power, and solidarity within Detroit. We focus on engaging young Detroiters and underserved communities to foster a more inclusive and participatory dialogue. We believe that conversations play a critical role in building the bonds of solidarity. We invite you to get involved by becoming a conversation starter. Commit to starting conversations here!
