As a country, we have been facing big challenges throughout 2020. One thing that we’ve seen is that even in the midst of a global health crisis, gun violence in our communities is still an issue.
Join Councilman James Tate, Ray Winans of D.L.I.V.E., Dr. Chandra Car of Miller-Carr Human Services, Mia Reid of The Charles W. Reid Community Help Center and Jeff Nzoma of Nzoma Educational Consulting Group, LLC. NEXT Wed. (8/5) at 5 pm at the D1 C.A.N. townhall, these community leaders will discuss the psychological effects of gun violence and how addressing this issue can lead to safer communities.

What's in Senate Republicans' $1 trillion pandemic relief plan
www.crainsdetroit.com
U.S. Senate Republican leaders on Monday unveiled a draft plan to provide $1 trillion in coronavirus relief funding ahead of talks with Democrats. A package of separate bills, it gives Congress the option of passing parts of the agenda -- such as extensions of unemployment insurance or schools...Timeline PhotosMayor Mike Duggan has declared August 31 as Detroit Memorial Day to honor city residents who lost their lives to COVID-19. The City also will honor those who continue to fight in hospitals, medical centers, food banks, homeless shelters and neighborhood groups across the city.
Because the global pandemic has limited our ability to gather for funerals, the City is holding the Citywide Memorial at the end of August to Honor COVID-19 Victims and Commemorate Detroit’s Resiliency.
The City plans to install large photo boards representing Detroit residents we lost along a route on Belle Isle. Families and friends will be able to say goodbye, and the photos will be given to families when the memorial is over.
For all of this to happen, the Detroit Memorial 2020 Committee, led by Director of Arts and Culture Rochelle Riley, needs families to send photographs of their loved ones BY JULY 31 in one of the following three ways:
