The Power in the Hood Coalition is an ongoing project of the Mary Church Terrell Council for Community Empowerment. The Power in the Hood Coalition is a get out the vote (GOTV) project that aims to educate and register eligible voters in Detroit.

“It is important that we register voters as a precaution since the voter file was recently cleansed said Rev. Charles Williams, president of the Mary Church Terrell Council for Community Empowerment. It is dually important because of low voter turnout during the primary.”

Rev. Charles E. Williams, II is founder and president of the Mary Church Terrell Council for Community Empowerment. Heavily involved in the Political arena, Rev. Williams has been fortunate to be mentored by some of Black America’s most influential social, political and Labor activists like Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Bill Lucy.

Brian H. White is the Chair of the Power in the Hood Coalition. Mr. White is a member of MCT’s Executive Council. He is also the Legislative Director for Michigan NAACP State Conference.

Community organizations, leaders, activists, and the public are encouraged to participate in this effort to honor the legacy of Rosa Parks in the spirit of activism through voter education & registration.
