A United Response to Restore 48205
Protect the Zone is Team Pursuit's community-driven initiative to reclaim safety, rebuild trust, and restore peace within Detroit's 48205 neighborhood. This work is not done in isolation—it is rooted in collaboration, shared responsibility, and a unified vision for long-term change.
Join Our MovementAs violence continues to impact our youth, families, and neighborhoods, Team Pursuit has partnered with other mission-aligned organizations in 48205 to build a collective force for good. Each partner plays a vital role in extending our reach and deepening our impact.
This initiative is not just about response, it's about redesign. We are working together to create a new framework where peace, justice, and resilience are not just concepts, but daily realities in our community.
At Team Pursuit, we know the vision is bigger than one organization. Our mission is bold and geared to interrupt cycles of violence, build safe systems, and activate healing across generations. To do that, we must move together.
That is why we've partnered with other trusted organizations in the 48205 area, each bringing their unique expertise, relationships, and passion to the work. Together, we are building more than programs—we are building infrastructure for lasting change.
This movement is not powered by organizations alone, it is powered by people who have lived the struggle, survived the consequences, and returned to lead. Team Pursuit proudly partners with grassroots leaders and organizations who were once part of the problem and are now fully committed to being part of the solution.
These partners know 48205 from the inside out, and together, we are rewriting the narrative of our zone.
Once labeled "4820DIE," this area code was synonymous with loss, violence, and hopelessness. 4820LIVE empowered by Raham LLC exists to flip that script. Led by Phil Sample, formerly incarcerated leader born and raised in 48205, this initiative is about choosing life over death, purpose over pain, and unity over destruction. Through community engagement, distribution of resources and consistent presence, 4820LIVE is helping neighbors see that survival is not the end goal—thriving is.
PUSH is a brand that has a personal mission. Michael S. Rogers is originally from Detroit, MI, a true product of the Red Zone. With a deep understanding of the streets and the positivity that can emerge from them, Michael embraces the philosophy of P.U.S.H.—persevering through life's challenges by transforming negatives into positives.
Through Corn Webb's bold "Put Your Guns Up" initiative, Level 5 Protections is changing how young people in 48205 define strength. This movement doesn't glorify violence, rather it is designed to channel it. "Put your guns up" means put your fists in the gym, your discipline in your body, and your energy into life, not death. Founded by individuals who once contributed to street violence, Level 5 is now investing in youth training, physical fitness, and conflict resolution to shift culture and stop the killing.
