To The Ezekiel Project
We are an interfaith interracial, congregation-centered organization that addresses social justice issues and moves for systemic change within the Great Lakes Bay Region. We are led by a board with clergy and lay representatives from our member congregations. We are a part of the Gamaliel Network, a network of community organizing projects which connects Ezekiel to similar organizations across the nation. The Network provides training, program assistance, and professional development.
~Zeke of the Week~
The 'Zeke of the Week' title is appointed to those who have shown exemplary character and commitment in their community.
The Ezekiel Project is committed to positive change and promotes other leaders who reflects these values. We like to share these leaders with our Zeke family and friends whether they be organizers, volunteers, or everyday citizens making a difference in their own way!

LaToria ThompsonLatoria Thompson who is currently a member of our Economic Justice Alliance of Michigan (EJAM) program, an advocate for criminal justice reform, mother, and more is our latest Zeke of the Week. When asked how she got into this work Latoria Thompson responded with ",well growing up I lived in a time where everyone went to prison; friends and family members." Mrs. Thompson also had this to say about what inspires her and keeps her so driven, "Injustice in the criminal system. To get personal the criminal system took 20 years away from my sons. Everyone knows the saying "Innocent until proven guilty" but that was not the case when it came to my boys. I knew I couldn't just sit around and want change without making change." Currently, Mrs. Thompson is working with the Ezekiel Project, ACLU, and other organizations to fight against bail reform, mentoring incarcerated youth, and more. If you would like to get in contact with Mrs. Latoria Thompson to set up a 1-on-1, invest in her work, or simply connect with her email her at lthompsonjlf@gmail.com |
