You can t win if you re not willing to play the game.
Members of the group Livonia Citizens Caring About Black Lives spent much of 2020 calling their city council officials asking for more transparency, accountability for police and to repair the reputation as a racist city they say Livonia has built over the years.
Now, the group is running a political action committee, or PAC, to elect people who are willing to engage in those conversations. According to 2019 census data, about 12.3% of Livonia residents identify as non-white.
“We realized that we need people on city council who are able to engage with us and the public on this issue and any issue that they don’t feel comfortable with, Delisha Upshaw, one of the lead organizers for the Livonia Citizens Caring About Black Lives PAC, said. If you can’t do that, then you need to find a new job.”
