We may have been a little quiet on social media of late, but we been noisy behind the scenes! We have so many amazing projects that we're excited to tell you about, but for now, here's one recently launched: Poison & Power: The Fight for Water.

In collaboration with the University of Dayton's Human Rights Center, Poison & Power is the latest incarnation of The Moral Courage Project. We worked closely with Uni of Dayton students as they researched, interviewed and brought together stories about people who are fighting for access to clean water in the United States. The project includes a zine, podcast series and website. Check it out here:

We’ve been working with our partner, the University of Dayton, and a group of talented students to investigate the water issue in Kentucky and also Flint, Michigan, and to tell the stories of individuals who are standing up for their right to clean water. Moral Courage round 3 is coming your way soon. In the meantime, this article is illuminating.

Many residents of Martin county, Kentucky, won’t drink their tap water, a legacy of years of mismanagement

Rick Finkelstein’s work has been called “psychologically loaded” and “cinematic”, known for it’s use of miniatures and photography create and tell stories.⁣
📖⁣
In a way, Finkelstein’s style parallels the work of Proof— using images to tell meaningful stories and develop rich narratives. How fitting! ⁣
