Detroit Women's Commission — IN-PERSON ONLY

This nine-member advisory body created by mayoral appointment aims to carve out a space solely for women to lead, to strategize, and to influence decision-making at the highest level of city government.

The Detroit Women’s Commission will meet monthly to confront and address critical issues directly impacting the socioeconomic lives of women across the city. That includes everything from the pay gap to reproductive access, housing instability to public safety, maternal mortality to mental health – each issue made worse by disinvestment and policy neglect, especially for Black women.
