We’ve got a couple of cool events lined up next weekend and we hope to see you!
Detroit 48202: Conversations Along a Postal Route examines the rise, demise, and contested resurgence of the City of Detroit through the lens of African-American mail carrier, Wendell Watkins, and the committed community he faithfully served for thirty years.
“A truly brilliant and illuminating film. By the simple act of trailing a mail carrier on his route through the city, Pam Sporn presents a stunning alternative history of Detroit that powerfully illustrates the impact that racist housing policies, capital flight, and neoliberalism have had on Black urban communities.” – Robin D.G. Kelley, author and historian, UCLA
We’ll be watching it together in the 48202 zip code at the historic Jam Handy. We’ll tell you more about the location when you get on site and we’ll also have dinner from Baobab Fare, a wonderful East African restaurant right at the corner of Woodward and Grand Blvd, that’s also a ProsperUs Detroit graduate.
DREAM Community Organizing Workshop
Have you ever wanted to learn the fundamentals of how to bring people together and work for social change? Come out to the DREAM Community Organizing workshop and get introduced to some core Community Organizing concepts. Use these skills to get more deeply involved in DREAM’s work or take them back to your other organizations and communities.
Our trainers, Hazel Gómez and Mark Crain, have over 25 years of experience working in local and national organizing, both in and outside of faith communities. Our workshops combine modern, tried and true community organizing concepts, useful historical references, and inspiration from the life and example of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Seats are limited so sign up today to reserve your spot in the workshop.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
