We are a group of Dearborn residents who are working to build a culture and expectation of accountability and action in the city to make the city safe for Black residents, students, employees, and visitors.
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.

Decolonizing Our Anti-racism Work
Decolonizing Our Anti-racism Work
Accountability for Dearborn benefits from the academic, intellectual, and spiritual labor of the Black Indigenous, and People of Color Activists whose work provides a foundation for our efforts. As we pursue our advocacy, we also work to deepen it. We will continue to share the resources we have learned from, and invite you to join us in our journey to decolonize our anti-racism work.
