The Movement for Economic Equity in Detroit
School of Social Work ENGAGE Virtual Discussion
From the fight for a fair wage, to business closures during a pandemic, to a historic lack of job opportunities for Black individuals, race-based mechanisms of economic and social suppression have been systemically and strategically created in Detroit.
This virtual discussion focuses on the work of Detroit activists and leaders who have dedicated their lives to creating a more economically just and mobile city.
Special guests include Eboni Taylor, Michigan Executive Director of Mothering Justice; DeWayne Wells, Executive Director of the Economic Justice Alliance of Michigan; and Dr. Alicia Farris, Chief Operations Officer of the Restaurant Opportunities Center.
