The Steering Committee includes: Hon. Hansen Clarke, D-Detroit, State Representative; Hon. George Cushingberry, Jr., Wayne County Commissioner and Detroit clergyman; Robert Fetzer, Wellness House executive director; Hon. LaMar Lemmons, D-Detroit, State Representative; Isaiah McKinnon, PhD., former Detroit police chief; Jeffrey Montgomery, Triangle Foundation executive director; Tom Ness, Jam Rag publisher and Michigan Green Party founder; Eugene Perrin, M.D., Wayne State University school of medicine; Ron Scott, Coalition Against Police Brutality; Leni Sinclair , Detroit artist; Steven Walker , Democratic Party activist. Congressman (and Michigan gubernatorial candidate) Hon. David Bonior, D-Mt.Clemens has also endorsed the initiative.
