Examples of resources from the MIT Center for Future Civic Media

Here are some of civic-media resources MIT will bring to Detroit:

Hero Reports

  • Hero Reports, in the form of a website, is a security campaign that reports civic courage. It asks citizens to report moments when others make a difference. Acknowledge those who stand up, not in fear, but in hope. These can be small acts of kindness. Giving up a seat for a pregnant woman, holding the door for another. Or actions at times of crisis. The hero who picks up a fallen child, the bystander who assists in a car accident. This is the civic courage that also keeps us safe.

We'd love to work with individuals, community groups, media organizations, anyone interested in creating and strengthening positive community identity in Detroit. Please come to see us at JTM in Detroit.
