Accountability for Dearborn
Our mission is to hold the city of Dearborn accountable for eliminating institutional racism by identifying policies, ordinances, and procedures that result in racial disparities; and replacing those mechanisms with anti-racist ones.
Racism defines policing In Dearborn. It's time for change. We demand transparency, accountability, and divestment from Dearborn police.
Join us for our Data Townhall on February 20, 2021 to learn how city data sheds a massive light on racist behavior and policy in the city. Register now!
