Hello Brothers and Sister,
We the Civil and Human Rights Committee of UAW local 140 want to share an upcoming event with you that we will be supporting. Our friends at the Detroit Water Brigade are having a BBQ Water Donation Drive Cookout!
When: Sunday August 30th
Time: 12:00pm to 6:00pm
Where: 24 Avalon Village in Highland Park
The Event is to treat the Water Shutoff Clients and Water Affordability Fund Candidates to a day of fun in the sun, with good music, good food and to cheer them up and up lift their spirits.
This is also a water donation drive. We are encouraging our friends, neighbors and people everywhere to bring gallons, jugs and cases of water to continue rapid relief and water delivery to the city of Detroit residents that needs it the most
Help us raise proceeds for our Water Affordability Fund by donating10 dollars to this link here.www.detroitwaterbrigade.org/donate
We are a volunteer-led alliance of compassionate citizens of Detroit and their international allies working to bring emergency relief to families facing water shut offs while advocating for an income-based Water Affordability Plan in Detroit.
We deliver bottled water, water coolers, jugs, rainwater catchment barrels, filters, and other supplies to families. Supplies are donated to our various Water Stations or our central hub at 1514 Washington Blvd downtown from our online registry.
Advocacy
We believe that water is a human right. We work towards a Water Affordability Plan for all. The plan, created by Michigan Welfare Rights Organization and others, caps your utility payment at 2.5% of monthly income.
Long Term Plan
