Demand Governor Snyder stop making Flint residents pay for contaminated water!

Keep fighting for Flint!

For over 1,000 days, citizens of Flint Michigan have been using bottled or filtered water for drinking, cooking, and washing. Despite recent improved water quality, citizens have been advised to continue using bottled water, or filtration systems until all of the lead pipes are replaced. The problem is they are scheduled to be replaced in 2019, at the earliest.

Meanwhile, the state has been fighting against compulsive water delivery to needy households due to high costs, and the governor has recently stopped subsidizing water bills for Flint citizens. Flint has historically paid some of the highest water rates in the nation, and 40% of the population lives below the poverty line. Many don’t even have the means of accessing free bottled water. We cannot forget about them simply because Trump continues to tweet out nonsense.

Over the past three years, people without time and resources have been depending on volunteers, and aid groups to help supply and disperse bottled water. These resources are drying up, however, and citizens are looking for help. Do your part by donating to Flint Water Fund.

But our sisters and brothers should not have to depend on donations for access to clean drinking water. Sign this petition and demand that Governor Snyder stop making Flint residents pay for contaminated water.
