Planet Detroit is pleased to announce it is the recipient of a $25,000 grant from the Facebook Journalism Project Community Network Program. This funding will allow us to engage with communities in environmental injustice hotspots across the city and region. Our goal is to arm those who lack resources with the information they need to help protect their environment and cope with climate change. We also aim to raise the voices of impacted Detroiters, so that the region can collectively take a step toward understanding the impact of the climate crisis on communities. Learn more here. |
