We can’t forget how we got here. The residents of Flint have struggled, for more than a year, not only for their basic human right to clean water, but against the indifference, incompetence, and inaction of the officials who were supposed to ensure the health and well-being of the people.
Now, the people of Flint deserve more than just bottled water. They deserve justice.
Everyone impacted by this horrific, man-made public health disaster deserves to know they don’t stand alone. They deserve to know we stand with them, that we’ll join their call for justice, accountability, and action. And tomorrow, if you’re able, you can show them in person by marching with them.
Will you take a stand with us? Join hundreds tomorrow to stand with the people of Flint. RSVP today!
Thanks for standing up for justice,
Gail Philbin
Director, Sierra Club Michigan Chapter
