The Detroit Anti-Racism Training (DART) conference aims to bring together organizers and community leaders to build collaborations through critical consciousness raising on racial justice and critical anti-Islamophobia activism to address issues of water, community power, and sanctuary.

This is an important moment to mobilize Muslims and allied communities to develop a proactive agenda to build power and counter harmful policies on a local, state, and national level by developing a shared vision for Metro Detroit. 

DART 2017 will be held at the Wayne State University Law School (the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights) located in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday, September 16 from 9 am to 7 pm.

DART 2017 is hosted by the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative and co-sponsored by Blac Pearl Media, CAIR Michigan, ACCESS, Center for New Community, Safety Pin Box, the Detroit Equity Action Lab, and The Family & Youth Institute.

Join us...

To bring together multi-faith multi-racial leaders, especially leaders from African-American, South Asian, Middle Eastern, Latino and East Asian community organizations in metro Detroit to do the following:

1. Through interactive presentations and panels, provide political education on racial justice and critical anti-Islamophobia activism.
2. Create a space for coalition building to address the intersections of systemic racism and Islamophobia in metro Detroit.
3. Develop long term strategies to build power in Detroit to tackle systemic racism and Islamophobia and empower local communities.
