The Democratic presidential candidates are coming to Detroit for a public, televised debate on July 30. The eyes of the nation will be here. Let’s make sure our voices are heard.

In a number of ways, the story of Detroit mirrors many stories across our land. Corporate interests have bought off our democracy and disinvested in our communities at the expense of everyone else. Today Detroit, Flint and other rural and urban communities face pollution dumped in our backyards, while billionaires get tax breaks for new stadiums and corporate development.

To tackle these challenges, Detroit needs what people need everywhere - good, clean, local, union jobs, affordable and clean water, clean air, and a livable future for all of us and our loved ones to thrive. We need to build a fair, green economy that serves the needs of people and planet (human need, not corporate greed) we need to deepen, broaden and strengthen our democracy and people power.

The people of Detroit are ready to build this better future together - It’s time for all local, state, federal and tribal governments and community leaders to stand with us.

Join us as we work to make Detroit the Engine of the Green New Deal.

Hosted by the Frontline Detroit Organizing Committee.
