OUR current ACTIONs and upcoming events

Our budgetary demands to City Council for FY2025

It's budget time! Here are the following demands we are making to City Council as they hash out the new City budget:


  1.  Lower the DPL Administrative Fee from $696k to $50k. 
  2. Authorize a repayment from the City of the $407k that is still missing from the c.2021 wire fraud case against the DPL. 
  3. We reiterate our demand that Council declare a state of emergency on housing, and allocate / reallocate resources accordingly. The over-bloated DPD budget would be a good place to look for some extra funding resources.
  4. Double DDOT! We are joining the call to double DDOT's budget.
  5. Duggan's budget proposal reduces the Land Bank’s budget from $11M to $6M...we think it should be even less!
  6. Also, DPSCD is estimating that they could lose $30 to $80 million from Trump's federal cuts, and the new State House Republicans' new budget proposal reduces the school aid budget by 25%. The district lost over $50 million from tax captures and abatements in 2023! The time to end tax captures on our schools is NOW.


Please go to our Contact Local Officials page to join us in making these demands for City Council's budgeting season via phone or email. You can also send your budget concerns to: yourbudget@detroitmi.gov

Sign / share our petition to City Council

Dan Gilbert has failed to keep the promises he made to get $60M from Detroit taxpayers for his new Hudson's tower. Council has the power to fix this, and here's how we make them do it:
