Linking up the struggles!

The National Welfare Rights Union is the union for low-income persons and public assistance recipients in the United States of North America.  Following the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO), the NWRU was reorganized in 1987 to represent the interests of low-income people, and to continue the work to eliminate poverty. The NWRU has chapters across the U.S. and affiliations with other anti-poverty groups outside the boundaries of the nation.

The NWRU is a voluntary dues paying organization with a national board of poverty representatives. We meet biannually to discuss the state of poverty in the U.S. and around the world, and work on problems to dismantle poverty.
