Free Detroit Shared Library

We have been accumulating a number of documents of significant reference and we are sharing those that are available to the public through our library online. The library has a number of folders grouping documents of similar topic / nature together.

  • Detroit 2012 Charter
  • Detroit Public Schools
  • DWSD & EMA
  • Financial Stability Agreement / Consent Agreement
  • Land Grab / Development Projects / Zoning
  • Transportation
Additional subject folders will be added as the library contents grow.

Note: We believe that all documents in the library are in the public domain. If you wish to contest one of the documents loaded to our library, please contact admin@freedetroit.org with a note referencing the document name.


ScribD Library Shelf

We also have a few collections of documents available through ScribD. A link to these can be found in the sidebar of the website, or through this link to our ScribD Library. Our collections can accept additions of additional documents from ScribD participants, with approval.

FREEDOM of the PRESS

Journalism must rise to the occasion and FREEDOM OF THE PRESS must take priority. Reporting is not always a cordial matter. As professionals you get to know that there is a job to be done - reporting the truth and doing what is right for the time. Even within Occupy Detroit we have situations that have people opposing each other's actions and point of views. I believe many would say this is no surprise and they see it all the time. I've written without formal training as a journalist and had those with training call out what I've done as weak or ineffective reporting. I've also investigated background for stories, assembled information and brought conclusions together that matter. I've discussed position statements with others and sometimes simply written what I feel is appropriate.
