At DTE rate hearing with @MichiganPSC at Mumford HS #Detroit — packed w ppl opposed to their requested increase esp w/o track record of improvement in low income communities after every storm! Can’t ignore the disproportionate EJ burdens & costs
@MiCivilRights Director Johnson just announced at the @MichiganEGLE EJ Conference that registration may still be available to EJ groups & residents. Is it possible to open up some space for us? Thanks @syl_ord

The Filthy Truth About Your Tap Water | WIRED
Best story to explain in simple terms what’s PFAS & how the @EPAwater proposed rule will make our public utility drinking water safer. Still need an end to “upstream” source pollutants + EJ priorities! https://t.co/hvDsHRCayg
@BootsRiley at @waynestate Re: organizing lessons from Detroit, ‘There’s a difference between what u want ppl to do vs what u want them to know…that guided the style & how culture works….To change the culture u gotta have material aspects to the struggle! #Powerful
Shutting off water is a crime against humanity and a public health crisis!
Call Mayor Duggan and follow PWB to be updated about actions happening all week.
We'll be marching in solidarity with them and hundreds of others from the MLK Rally today. Come on down!
With @PeoplesWaterDet and allies.
Clean water.
Safe water.
Affordable water.
All necessary and critical for public health, families, security, and life.
Extend the moratorium.
#WaterIsAHumanRight
Chronic poverty limits ability of poor people to pay the same rates as people who have no affordability problems. Let’s support vulnerable families so they pay no more than 3% of their income on water & sanitation bills, protect public health & work together as Michiganders 😊
Please give public comments at @DetroitWaterDep board mtg tmrw to 1) ban shutoffs on #PoorPeople 2) extend #PublicHealth moratorium 3) stop lg HH rate penalties 4) extend eligibility to 200% FPL 5) stop discriminatory reqmt of SSNs
