Christopher Ford | UNDIVIDED Micah Catalyst
The Micah Catalyst work I lead through UNDIVIDED centers on engaging trusted faith and community leaders to take coordinated action on urgent issues. Inspired by the charge in the Book of Micah to pursue justice, the work focuses on identifying people with influence, strengthening their connections, and helping them move their networks. I organize leaders across Detroit and Oakland County around community safety, immigration, and voting rights, building alignment, driving action, and strengthening a network that can respond when it matters.
