We’re excited to join forces with 482Forward and MEJC to bring together our community for a powerful event: the Play and Annual School Board Candidate Forum. This gathering will spotlight critical issues in education through engaging scenes and discussions.

Students, parents, and teachers hold invaluable insights into the realities of our schools and neighborhoods. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from those at the heart of the education system about what changes are needed—whether it’s improving school facilities, reimagining how schools should serve our communities, or advocating for equitable education for all Detroit students.

Our goal is to bring 1,000 participants into the room, including parents, students, educators, school staff, school board members, candidates, and other key decision-makers shaping Detroit’s educational landscape.

Join us between 12pm-1pm to sign in, explore resources, participate in a data walk, and enjoy artwork that champions education justice.
