If you don't yet hate and despise bottled water then you need to start.

Holy s**t this is BAD

Ten years ago we fought and fought hard so that all people would be given unfettered access to clean and drinkable water from their faucets, this, in little place called Flint, Michigan. It was a righteous struggle and yielded some very strong and positive results both through our efforts in concert with other groups on the ground through our direct in-home interventions (RRST program), and in concert with and maybe even more impactful on our citizens behalf through our involvement with the Federal courts who granted strong and wide ranging relief for every single Flint resident and family who needed it.

Water should not be a commodity to be bought and sold by and to the highest bidder but that's exactly where we find ourselves today. Please think about this as you play with AI and other such self-indulgent but ultimately luxurious things as those living in many places on this planet struggle for the very right to exist and to have access to clean and drinkable water for themselves, for their families for their children, and animals. Everyone deserves clean water. Every. Single. One of Us.

Well, this is a wild idea, income based utility bills. How shocking and long overdue this is. lov to hear your thoughts on this. Obviously given what happened in flint we are ALL IN on this idea. Water is life and clean water should be a right.

Michigan would become the first state with a permanent, income-based water billings system under proposed affordability package.

These wanton murders cannot, must not be ignored any longer by the international community. This is genocide.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed across Gaza on Sunday as they tried to get food aid, according to local health authorities, one of the deadliest days in recent months for those seeking assistance.

It's been a long and winding road. a heaping thank you goes out to the tireless and selfless workers at Crossing Water for the role they played in getting these pipes replaced.

“This day would not have come without the heroic efforts of the people in Flint who have fought valiantly for more than ten years to ensure the city fulfilled its duty to replace these dangerous lead pipes. Residents of Flint deserve – and have always deserved – access to clean, safe drinking water and property repairs, full stop. While we know that this is not a resolution for all the harms caused to the people of Flint from the water crisis, we celebrate this long-awaited win alongside you. We are committed to our partnership and the work ahead.” - Bonsitu Kitaba, ACLU-MI Interim Legal Director

The glass of water that Jennifer Campagne draws from her kitchen faucet looks clear and clean. But ever since she had her household well tested and found “forever chemicals” in
