We will follow up with you to announce a plan for a Detroit press conference.
Turning off water in homes that are in hardship is inhumane. People are not able to flush toilets, bathe, or cook. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase in waterborne infectious diseases since the shut offs. The best way to prevent disease is hand washing. No running water creates a major public health risk for adults and children affected and those they come in contact. Water can be made affordable through an affordability plan passed in the city of Detroit.
We are looking for faith leaders from across Michigan, please sign and join us!
Thank you for your participation.
