Topos, Detroit Action

Detroit Action enlisted the Topos Partnership to study their canvass operation using anthropological methods:

  • observing and describing how the canvass actually works on the ground,
  • gauging how well interactions in the field reflect DA’s mission and values,
  • analyzing narratives—what works, what’s missing, what can be improved upon, and
  • suggesting changes and improvements to the canvass and the efforts to organize and build power.
