Can't prove it, but it is suspected the "Wage Love" quote was a shout out to Charity Hicks - A Detroit Based Environmental Activist who was credited for starting the Detroit Water Brigade, that recently died in a Hit and Run accident in NYC.

An online fundraiser is being held on behalf of her family and associated burial costs -- and Mr. Ruffalo did donate to the fundraiser in her honor. In addition, he Tweeted about Ms. Hicks untimely death which caused more attention to the efforts of the DWB and The People's Water Board - Detroit, receiving national and international news focus.
