Chicago is facing a water crisis. Based on the United Nation’s affordability standard, water bills are currently unaffordable for nearly 150,000 households in Chicago. Some parts of the Southside have tap water tests coming back with higher lead levels than Flint, MI. Wealthier neighborhoods are paying less for the same amount of water as less wealthy neighborhoods in our city. And no one should be going without clean, running water based on economic status - because water is a human right!

That's why the Chicago Water for All Coalition is working to pass the Water for All Ordinance in City Council. It will stop water shutoffs over inability to pay, ensure our water system is never privatized, make sure our pipes and other infrastructure are updated fairly, and more. We need your help to make it happen.
