Phonebank for Water Affordability
2024-03-27 10:00 - 12:30 (America/Detroit) | Virtual
Join us in urging the State Legislature to support essential Affordable Water legislation because it would benefit most Michiganders while costing the wealthiest among us a very small amount ($24) each year.
Senator Stephanie Chang has spearheaded a collaborative effort over seven months, uniting stakeholders for a comprehensive water affordability plan in Michigan. This includes addressing issues like doubled water costs since 1980 and the public health importance highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initiatives like the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program have helped, but a statewide approach is crucial.
Join us for a patch-through Phonebank, where we’ll encourage residents to leave a voicemail for legislators in support of this water affordability bill package.
