Who is DetCharter?

In December of 2010 Jacqueline Bejma and Alexander Derdelakos began to closely follow the City of Detroit Charter Revision Commission. After a few short weeks we quickly realized that for such an historic moment the Commission was getting far too little attention from the community and press. Seizing on the opportunity for change we mobilized and created DetCharter.com; an independent, citizen operated organization. Our mission is to educate the community on the actions taken by the Commission while providing a forum for citizen input.
