Detroit Yesers,

Please join us at March 18th, 6:30pm at Western High School, I along with many others in the Southwest Detroit Community will be kicking off "Our Kids Come First" a Rally for SW Detroit children!

An exciting coalition in SW Detroit is coming together to create a united front around issues affecting our children. Parents, LSCO Presidents, Principals, teachers, students, agencies, churches and community organizations in SW Detroit all working to put our kids first!

We are united to win……

Youth Recreation. Keep the recreation centers open later. Our kids need somewhere safe to go and something positive to do after school.

Healthy Kids. Southwest Detroit has the highest rate of asthma in all of Michigan! We need Asthma education programs.

Stronger schools. Every child should perform at grade level and have access to higher education. We want more after-school tutoring and college preparation.

Safe Streets. No more dangerous buildings, no more biting dogs, no more dark underpasses and no more heaps of trash!
