MIchigan Welfare Rights Organization

Michigan Welfare Rights Organization (MWRO) is a state chapter of the National Welfare Rights Union that advocates for public assistance recipients and low-income people. The union publicizes stories in the media about water shutoffs, housing, and other issues related to low income in Michigan.

MWRO also works to build a social movement by bringing together people directly affected by water problems, grassroots leaders, community attorneys, researchers, educators, artists, and policy makers to strategize on solutions provide clean, healthful water regardless of income. The International Gathering of Social Movements on Water, convening in Detroit, Michigan is one way that MWRO brings diverse stakeholders into the conversation.

The People’s Water Board Coalition

We are a coalition of three dozen grassroots groups, NGOs, faith-based, social justice, and community-based organizations who have come together to fight for the human right to safe, affordable water and sanitation. We believe water is part of a shared commons that is held in the public trust for the benefit of all people.
