The Annual Equity Forum brings the community together to learn about DFC’s work, hear from national experts, and work collaboratively to start designing a pathway towards creating an economically equitable city and region.
Detroit Future City (DFC) hosted its fourth annual Equity Forum on November 2, 2023, bringing the community together to inspire innovative ideas and collective action. The event will explored the intersections between sustainability, economic equity, and community & economic development to explore a vision for a thriving and resilient Detroit and inspire action towards that vision.
During the event, Bridge Michigan’s Environment Reporter, Kelly House, facilitated a fireside chat with keynote presenters – Dr. Andre Perry and Naomi Davis – and a reaction panel discussion with local leaders – Maria Garlaza from the Detroit Office of Sustainability, Donna Givens-Davidson from the Eastside Community Network, and Regina Strong from Michigan EGLE – that explored ideas and examples to address climate vulnerability and economic inequity in Detroit to cultivate a city where Detroiters can thrive, meet their unique needs, and prosper.
