313files.org is a public archive documenting Detroit's political and economic elite.

Detroit's struggles aren't accidental—they're the inevitable result of institutions that enable the powerful to trade public resources for personal gain while facing minimal accountability. They flow from a structural moral bankruptcy that encourages exploitation of the poor to benefit the rich and powerful.

By connecting isolated incidents into documented patterns, 313files.org seeks to expose not just individual bad actors, but the fundamental flaws in a system designed to prioritize profit over people. Every entry is meticulously sourced from public records, verified reporting, and official documents.

We believe the people of Detroit will not flourish until we all work to expose and dismantle the structures that consistently prioritize elite interests over community wellbeing.
