JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO PROHIBIT LGBTQ DISCRIMINATION

It’s been over 2 months since contaminated land collapsed into the Detroit River and the site has yet to be remediated. It’s clear that the City of Detroit could be doing more to protect our communities and our water. That’s why we need a Detroit Waterway Protection Ordinance so situations like this one never happens again.

We are partnering with Visionary Justice Story Labs for a showing of Grrrl Justice, an experimental narrative short by filmmaker
Shontina Vernon. Grrrl Justice explores the rising rates of girls and queer youth of color in the juvenile justice system through the lenses of gender and sexuality.

Following the film we will join Black Youth Project 100 and the Ruth Ellis Center for a youth panel. Panelists will share about how the film's themes of surveillance and school to prison pipeline impact Detroit youth on a daily basis.

Come join us as we work on supporting Cosecha Detroit as allies! What is Movimiento Cosecha? What does it mean to be an ally to Movimiento Cosecha?
