 Activists, who were mainly welfare recipients themselves with little political power, would be left amidst this crisis with the ability to do nothing about it.This move was also easier organizationally for the movement because it was strategically more difficult to identify those who were eligible for welfare than those who already received it, it was also more difficult to motivate welfare-eligible individuals to act than those who already received it, and it was easier to organize current recipients of welfare by offering them benefits such as supplementary welfare payments.The NWRO's first major activity was lobbying against the work incentive provisions of the Social Security Amendments of 1967.
