When BLACK Progress is under attack, What do we do? Organize! Fight Back!
In January 2025, Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced the end of professional fact-checking and content protections on Facebook and Instagram. These and other changes reflect the influence and impact of Meta’s and other social media platform algorithms in how and what information reaches their users. Mis and disinformation is rampant and media coverage is limited by corporate influence.
After 12 years of being a triannual publication (MLK DAY, Summer and Fall), in 2025 we’re excited to share that the People’s Platform Newspaper will now be published monthly to fight back against disinformation and corporate media control. With the Detroit People’s Platform (DPP) News our objective is to share pertinent information and analysis that reflects the priorities of majority Black Detroit.
THE ISSUES
Detroit People’s Platform strives to protect, maintain & empower majority Black Detroit in the face of efforts to re-engineer the nation’s largest Black city. Learn more about our work for Good Governance, Economic Justice, Transit Justice, Housing Justice and The Commons in Detroit.

Without the strong leadership and commitment of our long-standing Community Partners we would not be able to build movement. We work with neighborhood groups who are willing to stand up to the status quo and fight for Majority Black Detroit.
