🪻There’s no paywall here

Apologies for the brief interruption. We hope you’re finding these fact-based, community-powered updates from our team valuable.

You won’t find a paywall at Planet Detroit—because we believe access to trustworthy, local journalism is essential for a just and informed future.

As Trump-era environmental rollbacks return, and disinformation spreads, independent reporting on climate, health, and equity is more vital than ever. Thanks to reader support, we keep this work free for everyone.

This Earth Month, we’re aiming to raise $5,000 to power local, solutions-focused reporting that protects our environment and our communities. If you can, we’d be grateful if you took a moment to contribute.

Every dollar helps. Thank you.

While writing poetry about climate change may not seem like it will make a difference, we also see it as an act of resistance. That’s why, in partnership with Room Project, we are publishing six poems from Planet Detroit readers that grapple with life amid climate change.

Enjoy, and join us Sunday, June 7 at Room Project to listen to four of these poets read their work. REGISTER HERE.

Don’t change anything significant.

You can change the headline and/or subheading, but articles must be republished in their entirety. It’s ok to change references to time (“yesterday” to “today”) or location (“Southwest Detroit” to “here”).
