Since 2020, they have strategized city budget campaigns to create a more inclusive and accessible Detroit, coordinated DDP’s Election Protection program supporting disabled voters, and provided local policy research and recommendations to increase accessible and affordable housing options and transit services. She represents DDP collaborating on local councils, advisory boards, and coalitions as a disabled advocate with mental illnesses fighting for full inclusion for all bodyminds.

Kaci dreams of blocks, neighborhoods, and places where we all freely give and receive love, without fear of being left behind or not having the resources we need to live fully as ourselves. Kaci loves having existential conversations, gardening, brewing kombucha, reading, and spending time with their family – her partner, kiddo, dogs, and cat.
