Changing the Conversation

WITH ALLIED MEDIA PROJECTS + DETROIT PEOPLE’S PLATFORM

Data visualization and design to advise philanthropy on how to better serve the grassroots community.

This report represents the culmination of 12 months of work conducted by Allied Media Projects and Detroit People’s Platform. Their partnership was established to convene community organizers and the philanthropic community in Detroit. Their goal: Develop recommendations for how philanthropists might better serve their communities.

In the process of developing the 12 Recommendations, they found a wealth of information about the current landscape of community organizing in Detroit and ideas for how that landscape could be healthier and more collaborative. The Work Department worked to visualize these findings and tell the stories of Detroiters doing the work on the ground. View the full report.
