John,
We are so excited to have you along for our “Make It Real” journey —
a journey that takes you from the plains of South Dakota to big city
Detroit and, finally, to the shores of South Florida. At each stop,
we highlight a new community rising to the challenge of fighting
climate change and protecting their lands from the pollution, smog
and greenhouse gases threatening our planet.
Last month, we brought you the story of [ [link removed] ]Indigenized Energy, the
Native-led nonprofit empowering Indigenous communities by bringing
renewable energy to their homes. This time we visit [ [link removed] ]Detroit, a
Dream.Org Transformative Community, where local partnerships are
redefining the city’s industrial past and creating a pathway to a
sustainable, green future. Across the city, environmental advocates,
grassroots organizations, and local entrepreneurs are collaborating
to foster a thriving community rooted in hope, resilience, and shared
vision.
Detroit might be known for the legendary cars made for more than a
century in its factories— factories and vehicles that, in part, have
contributed to the pollution and emissions fueling today’s climate
crisis. However, in the second installment of our three-part [ [link removed] ]“Make
it Real” photojournalism series — [ [link removed] ]Detroit’s Equitable and
Inclusive Solutions: Transformative Communities at Work — we
spotlight a different narrative. This is the story of community
activists driving change in the Motor City, working to combat climate
change through innovative, localized solutions. From expanding clean
energy to increasing energy efficiency, and improving access to clean
transportation, these efforts are guided by the community's unique
vision: a Detroit where environmental justice, economic opportunity,
and sustainable living are not just ideals but realities, built by
and for its people.

Get to know people like [ [link removed] ]Briana Dubose, and [ [link removed] ]Sandra Turner-Handy,
two people working hard to access federal funds and develop
shovel-ready projects that will bring big change to their
neighborhoods and beyond. We worked with Briana, collaborating with
her organization, EcoWorks,and other local stakeholders to
successfully compete for federal funding and partner with investors
to increase private investment for BIPOC-owned community
organizations and businesses. In short, together we’re creating
opportunities that make Detroit a model of climate equity and
transformation.
Take a look inside for powerful stories of green change in the Motor
City.
