Executive Director Angela Davenport joins community voices demanding accountability, equity, and inclusion.

Last night in Detroit, voters came together to engage directly with the candidates hoping to lead the city. From housing and clean water to education, air quality, public safety, and how our leaders plan to serve those most impacted by the legal system—the questions came straight from the people.

VAAC was proud to be on the ground, with our Executive Director Angela Davenport showing up and speaking out alongside community partners and grassroots organizers.

This is what civic power looks like:

• Informed residents asking bold questions
• Forums that center impacted voices
• Candidates held accountable—before, during, and beyond election season

We know that people impacted by incarceration, poverty, and systemic neglect are often left out of political spaces. That’s why VAAC shows up: to help shift the conversation and make space for everyone to be heard.
