The Detroit Local Organizing Committee (DLOC) is made up of dozens of grassroots social movement organizations and many wonderful activists, artists, youth, parents & cultural workers from across southeast Michigan. In conjunction with the four anchors organizations--Michigan Welfare Rights Organization (MWRO), East Michigan Environmental Action Council (EMEAC), Centro Obrero de Detroit, and Southeast Michigan Jobs with Justice--they are responsible for outreach & logistical organizing for USSF II Detroit in June 2010.
There are over 10 local committees working to organize a variety of Midwest organizations and Detroit stakeholders.
The Detroit LOC holds organizing meetings every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 5:30pm (new member orientation at 5:15pm) at the USSF Detroit office (23 E. Adams, 4th Floor, Detroit, MI, 48226; in the Central United Methodist Church building). All are invited and support is needed and appreciated!
