Detroit, October 1, 2024 – Here at Detroit People’s Platform (DPP) we believe in solidarity as one strategy for power building and we also believe in the PURPOSE and the POWER of the VOTE as an effective tool to wield power.
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King in his infamous book: Where Do We Go from Here, Chaos or Community?, expressed how we “have illuminated imperfections in the democratic structure that were formerly only dimply percieved and have forced a concerned rexamination of the true meaning of American democracy.”
The Black vote is critical in the 2024 election. Collectively, 30% of registered Black voters live in the nine (9) key battle ground states. Detroit and the state of Michigan fall squarely into this category. As was the case in 2020, majority Black Detroit and our brothers and sisters across the nation will again be called upon to help save the nations’ democracy and with it the well-being of our collective and individual futures.

COMMUNITY
GROUPS
Without the strong leadership and commitment of our long-standing Community Partners we would not be able to build movement. We work with Brightmoor Connection, Jefferson Chalmers Community Advocates and other neighborhood groups who are willing to stand up to the status quo and fight for Majority Black Detroit.
