Detroit cannot say it is serious about poverty reduction while paying its own employees poverty wages. So we're changing that — starting with our own payroll. Mayor Mary Sheffield stood with city employees and union representatives to announce that every full-time City of Detroit employee will earn a minimum of $21.45/hour, which is $44,500 a year. A real livable wage. Nationally, few cities have set the bar this high. Salary increases start early July.

Detroit is at a crossroads — and issues like poverty can’t be treated like background noise. This week at R.A.K.S., I spoke about the reality too many families face. When the majority of our kids are growing up in poverty, we need leadership that doesn’t just acknowledge the problem but understands it — because lived experience matters.
