WXYZ Channel 7, the ABC affiliate in Detroit, recently launched an incredibly innovative and unique project called Detroit 2020. The project will be a full-blown community effort that will get up-close and personal with the citizens of the Metro Detroit area to inspire action and change throughout the entire region.

It no doubt lives up to Channel 7’s slogan in showing they really are “On Your Side” and it’s another example of how Channel 7 has been on a roll lately when it comes to finding new and relevant ways of reaching out and engaging their audience and the community.

Detroit 2020 gives Detroiters a forum where they can stand up and bring attention to the issues that matter most to them—to all of us.

I hope that I can somehow get involved and be a part of this project and I really am thrilled to see this thing develop and grow into something huge.

Check out the site to learn more about the project and to submit your ideas, thoughts, photos or videos.
