Black Lives Matter. Let's fight for the future of Detroit.
The world is in uproar about the unjust deaths of black people at the hands of law enforcement in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic that has disproportionally killed black people, particularly in Detroit.
Caught Up is committed to fighting systemic inequalities AND violence within Black communities.
We fight systemic inequalities by:
- Helping youth in Detroit with academic skills and career guidance
- Providing financial assistance to college students from disadvantaged backgrounds
- Teaching financial literacy and entrepreneurship
- Teaching youth their rights in encounters with law enforcement
We fight violence in Black communities by:
- Hosting organized sports and other activities as safe alternatives to gang participation.
- Providing intellectual and spiritual counseling to youth who have lived through trauma.
- Breaking the mentoring incarcerated teens to break cycles of violence and become successful leaders in their communities.
Donate today to make a tangible impact on the lives of youth in Detroit.
