The Equitable Internet Initiative Southwest
The Equitable Internet Initiative is a collaboration between the Detroit Community Technology Project, Allied Media Projects, Grace in Action Collectives, NEWCC, and the Church of the Messiah's Boulevard Harambe Program.
In 2016, we began working together to ensure that more Detroit residents have the ability to leverage digital technologies for social and economic development.
EII Southwest is in the process of developing a worker owned, utility cooperative to continue to increase Internet access through the distribution of shared Gigabit Internet connections in and around Grace in Action while increasing internet knowledge by offering internet training to residents of Southwest Detroit.
