Hi, I just moved to the Ann Arbor area, and like you mentioned, like all other places, this super-white town is puzzling to me. Before I moved here everyone reassured me, Ann Arbor is awesome! It’s super diverse and really liberal so I will feel right at home. Within the first mont of moving here I had the cops called on me in the Target parking lot because someone decided they didn’t like the way I was treating my child and must have said that I was being ‘abusive’ or something. I feel like it probably had a little something to do with my wearing of ethnic clothing and a headscarf. Anyway, I don’t know enough people to get involved around here and was itching to know about what kind of activism was happening post-Ferguson. Are there any listserves or something I could be added to to stay informed on Ann Arbor activity?
Thanks,
