Clean water.
Safe water.

All necessary and critical for public health, families, security, and life.
Extend the moratorium.
#WaterIsAHumanRight
Go @PeoplesWaterDet 👊!!
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
