“On the morning of the Women’s March in Washington, DC, Michele and Rick Tingling-Clemmons of the Central NorthEast Civic Association and founding board members of the National Welfare Rights Union met up with 19 Welfare Rights activists from Detroit and surrounding Michigan areas at the Denny’s on Benning Road NE. The group discussed plans for the upcoming June Social Forum in Detroit. The group was welcomed by Denny’s owner, Sylvia Ehilen, who offered their usual exemplary service. The contingent was traveling with the Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom and included National NWRU Co-Chair Marian Kramer and Michigan Welfare Rights Organization State Chair Maureen Taylor.” — Michelle and Rick Tingling Clemmons
