Freedom Dreams

An emerging Community Land Trust on Detroit’s East Side

We are a network of community members and organizations—Jonsin For Change, ComeUnity One Stop, Sweet Kingdom Missionary Baptist Church, and the James and Grace Lee Boggs Center—collaborating to promote community agency, health, and wealth while working to prevent the destructive and displacing effects of rapid gentrification in our neighborhood.

We will “make a way out of no way” and as we say “they may be moving in but we are not moving out

Our Freedom Dream is about creating a Beloving Community on the east side of Detroit. Some of us have known each other for decades, while others have joined the team in the last few years with a spirit to re-imagine, re-define, and to rebuild our neighborhood.

When we turn to each other we can and will create a future that includes everyone.
