The Chauvin verdict is a powerful condemnation of racial prejudice and police brutality. While it is an important step toward justice being served, it is important to remember it as just that – a first step. Senselessly tragic, George Floyd’s death is an historic, galvanizing call to action. Each of us has a role to play in ending social injustice and institutional racism with deliberate action. Personal responsibility is step one in ensuring equity, accountability and healing.
DEGC will continue working toward building equitable futures for Black and Brown people as well as all marginalized communities. We will fight to remove racial barriers that have created the poverty and wealth gap that exist in Detroit. This includes increasing access to capital for minority entrepreneurs, creating jobs for City residents and driving new investment in our neighborhoods.
DEGC stands united with the leaders and residents of Detroit who are building a new vision of what inclusion and access really mean to our City.
