Momentum Will Shape Detroit


High school physics was not my strong suit but I do remember a few key theorems and natural laws. One that comes to mind often these days is that force equals mass times acceleration and that momentum, an impelling force, is generated as the mass grows and the speed increases.

In Detroit City there’s a change coming; a revision of the status quo by the status quo. This change is gathering strength as it builds speed and critical mass. Most of the time if momentum is not checked by depleting the mass or reducing the speed it will steamroll all who get in the way.

Usually when momentum is stopped or stalled it’s because it encountered a mass bigger and faster than its own force. The resistance created when momentum hits a brick wall will disperse the mass, slow the speed and diffuse the force of its power to shape the way things are.

The Up From the Under Movement can be the brick wall to destroy the gathering momentum, which threatens to keep Detroit citizens powerless, voiceless, and invisible. Right now we’re building the wall brick by brick. We need more mass though and quickly, to create a counter momentum to the politicians and social engineers whose decision and plans don’t include many of us and will result in continued decline for those trapped in “the under”.

Come join us as to provide the mass. We need your talent and expertise to generate speed. Help us build the momentum to chart our own course because if we don’t we’re going to get flattened by their momentum like a bug on the windshield of a fast moving semi. Stay tuned to this spot to get connected and become a force.
