We're the big neighborhood of Core City in Detroit fighting for what we deserve.

Core City Strong is working to bring our beautiful residential neighborhood back to its former glory before redlining, economic discrimination, white flight, and the I-96 construction hit the area.

We work to amplify the voices of the most underserved in our hood, fight back against bad actors who don't respect our voices, and drive future planning initiatives that will make the area more equitable, healthy, and welcoming for everyone -- especially for Detroit residents who have called this area home for their whole lives.

We meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month.

UPDATES:

• We won our campaign to downzone the 60+ lots in our neighborhood that were zoned as M4-intensive-industrial. This means multi-millionaires living outside the city, like Murray Wikol, can’t propose any more toxic projects like a concrete crusher. It means we will be safe from bad actors who use environmental racism and economic discrimination to make their money.

• The City of Detroit has a public nuisance lawsuit against Murrary Wikol to collect the over $144k in fines he’s accumulated for storing hazardous materials without a permit on his lot at 4445 Lawton St. Ms. Kristin Lusn is currently representing him as his lawyer. Wikol bought the lot at 4445 Lawton St from Wayne County for $1,300 in 2013, tried to sell it for $800,000+ but failed, and then tried to use our vibrant neighborhood as a sacrifice zone for his own profit.

• We won our campaign to stop Murray Wikol’s concrete crusher from coming into our neighborhood.
