4 Years Later & Flint STILL Does Not Have Clean Water
almost 6 years ago – Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 08:39:34 PM

Today marks the 4 year anniversary of the water crisis in Flint. Flint has been without clean and safe water since April 25, 2014. Water is life. Access to clean water is a human right. But, unfortunately, we see more and more instances where access to that human right is denied to many.

Today also marks one week since our Kickstarter went live - and we can not thank you all enough for joining us in bringing a new manufacturing legacy to the city of Flint. The people of Flint deserve better and we hope that Genusee will be a stepping stone in seeding the future of Flint with HOPE. Let's change the narrative. We hope that you will continue to engage and share our project with your communities and join us on the journey to #BeTheChange we NEED to see.

We launched a social campaign to raise awareness about the water crisis that is still going on in Flint. Join us in reminding people that we are still waiting to see #justiceforflint! The image and statement above is inspired by a piece of artwork by our good friend Timo Rissanen. Water is not a privilege - it is a human right. CLICK HERE to find more shareable assets you can use to spread the word on social media.
