Welfare Rights Group Active In Southeast Ohio

James Straten, grievance chairman, and his wife run the Southeastern Ohio Welfare Rights Organization in eight counties with about 170 members. The group, affiliated with OSCAW and the National Welfare Rights Organization, advocates adequate income dignity justice and democracy, and works with IRD ASV and VISTA to organize the poor to influence welfare policy.

Welfare Rights Organization aims to grow through hearings and outreach

Straten faces welfare termination and appeals a decision as WRO expands in southeastern Ohio. The group, led by Roberts and Straten, organizes welfare hearings, helps transport poor residents, and seeks broader funding and member growth to raise state welfare allotments toward federal standards.
