  1. “We are the people who believe in cities and pledge to align our energies for the benefit of Michigan’s largest and most stories city, Detroit.” “We must value and empower those who imagine a city of more rather than a city of less, even while embracing the idea that we may need to become leaner to ensure that the city thrives, not just survives.” “This vision of a greater, healthier, more vibrant, urban and livable Detroit is our single purpose, our manifest object and basis for this transformative moment.”
