Go @PeoplesWaterDet 👊!!

[People's Water Board @PeoplesWaterDet]

A few pictures from our rally, March, and press conference this morning. We will not be silent with 60,000 homes are facing water shut offs.

[MI WelfareRights Org @MWRO]

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 😊

[PENNY @pennytpup]

@NushratR @freep Somebody has to pay for water or we will all have to fill buckets in from the Detroit River.

[MI WelfareRights Org @MWRO]
