About FORCE Detroit

FORCE (Faithfully Organizing Resources for Community Empowerment) is committed to connecting justice and violence impacted people to opportunities to create justice-oriented policy and programmatic solutions. We leverage media and culturally relevant strategies to connect people least likely to be engaged to civic infrastructures.

Force Detroit is building capacity for community violence interruption (CVI) in Detroit. Detroiters have a 1 in 51 chance of being a victim of murder, rape, armed robbery, or aggravated assault, making it one of the most violent cities in America.

These activities engage people and groups in disrupting violence and retaliation. One of the critical functions of CVI is linking individuals to local assets and services that save lives, confront trauma, offer opportunities, and improve the socio-economic conditions that foster violence.
