Lesson 07
From a 30-second signature to a 12-week training program. Pick whichever one fits the time you have right now.
POA runs live petitions on fair water rates, Groundwater Board reform, and other campaigns. Signing takes 30 seconds and lets elected officials know Memphis cares.
If this helped you understand the aquifer, send it to someone else who drinks Memphis water. That's most of the city.
POA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit doing legal, scientific, and community-organizing work — all on a small budget. A $25 membership funds the next campaign.
Once a quarter, POA hosts an open happy hour with staff and featured guests. Show up, bring a question, meet people who care about the same water you drink.
POA runs 3-hour driving tours of Shelby County contamination sites — the "Super-Fun Superfund Sites Tour" and the "South Memphis Legacy Pollution Route." Lunch + discussion with community stakeholders included.
POA's annual advocacy training runs October through December. Frontline community members receive paid slots. No prior aquifer knowledge required — just care.
POA posts daily on Instagram and Facebook. Follow, share, and show up in comment threads when it matters. The Memphis water conversation benefits from more informed voices.
POA's slogan isn't abstract. Memphis has one of the highest-quality municipal water supplies in the United States — and one of the most concentrated lists of threats to it. Every person who understands this stack becomes a little harder for polluters to ignore.
