1. Detroiters start talking more positively about our city. This attitude will make people take notice.
2. Detroiters take more interest in their surroundings and do more clean up projects even if they choose a particular neighborhood to insure that it stays clean.
3. Detroiters band together and report the names of the criminals for in most all instances somebody knows who did it.
4. Detroiters take a more concerted effort to support Detroit based businesses.
5. Detroiters take more advantage of the resources available, like the housing incentives, educational resources like our libraries and schools, medical systems to improve one’s health.
6. Detroiters do more to keep a clear mental state and understand that positive thinking and religious intervention is a better answer than drugs.
7. Detroiters put aside racial divisions and understand that together we can accomplish so much more.
8. Detroiters can smile more and act more friendly.
9. Detroiters can do more to encourage our elected officials if they have not done what’s the majority thinks is best then wait until the election reoccurs to vote for another.
10. Detroiters can take more advantage of our parks and riverfront to cause more interaction among us.
11. Detroiters can use social media, face to face contact, etc to invite others to visit our city.
12. Detroiters who have moved away can return to open businesses, be closer to their jobs, seek jobs in Detroit and retire here.
13. Detroiters can just be better.
