Social innovator: Marian Kramer PURPOSE PRIZE WINNER

By C. Kelly The Michigan Citizen

Water is a human right. Despite criticism, personal attack and in some cases indifference, that ethical viewpoint has guided Marian Kramer.

For more than 40 years, Kramer, 63, of Michigan Welfare Rights Organization (MWRO), has worked to eliminate poverty in Highland Park, Detroit and communities throughout Michigan. Last weekend, her local work won national acclaim. Kramer walked away with the $10,000 Purpose Prize for her “grassroots, legal and legislative fight for the right to affordable water in Detroit.”
