Nicole was inspired to start the Create a Bright Life Detroit Chapter in 2017, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has fed and clothed over 61,095 homeless people in Detroit alone. Nicole has appeared free of charge in several courts assisting to clear warrants so these citizens have an opportunity to obtain stable employment and housing, so they can thrive instead of barely getting by.

Nicole also volunteers to expand and protect election integrity and voter rights, human rights, medical privacy rights and urban farming initiatives. On any given weekend, you can find Nicole in a community garden volunteering or holding an Expungement Clinic to help educate citizens about the law. Nicole Castka doesn’t just talk the talk – she walks the walk.
