Join BLACK YOUNG PROFESSIONALS OF DETROIT ALONG WITH ACTIVISTS AND
COMMUNITY LEADERS FOR A POTENT DISCUSSION ON BLACK POLITICS IN 2020.
We plan to review:
* What has transpired since the 2016 elections
* What are our current needs locally and nationally
* How we move forward with meeting those needs
* How you can get involved in moving the needle
The format will be a moderated panel discussion followed by a Q&A
session.
Detroit is a special city in America's Black landscape: Detroit is the
largest Black-majority city in America and a bellwether for the
American economy. If we can achieve in Detroit, we can set a precedent
for America.
Detroit is experiencing a resurgence in economic activity that is
creating a tale of two cities masked by the facade of one. People are
attempting to overwrite the existing history without the inclusion of
those who were here long before them. And the people who have been
here for the long haul are trying to position their families and
businesses to be included in the growth. The discussion to be had at
this event will serve as an opportunity for the activation of young
professionals and community members-at-large to remember the
criticality of voting and being active in the civic process because
our fight is not over. The millennial generation is primed and best
poised to take our community to the next level; we have to take the
baton and move forward.
