    City of Detroit Councilmember Gabriela Santiago-Romero discusses how her representation of District 6 stems from her childhood calling to protect the water and fight for justice, from Puerto Vallarta to Detroit. She also addresses how both increased ICE activity along the Detroit River and Detroit's status as a "border city" impacts residents' relationships with the waterfront, especially those of undocumented immigrants. Finally, she details her work with other representatives and local organizations to change policies that have limited vulnerable populations' intimacy with the Detroit River, making different futures--and histories--possible.
