Not Just Flint: Water Crises and Inequality in the United States
TED Fellow and MacArthur Fellow, LaToya Ruby Frazier, will be the keynote speaker at the Trinity Institute Dialogue #2 “Not Just Flint: Water Crises and Inequality in the United States”
A year after the news about toxic water in Flint, Michigan broke nationally, it’s clear that for millions of Americans – particularly in poor and marginalized communities, both urban and rural – safe water and sanitation are increasingly unaffordable. This one-day event will bring together keynote speakers, panelists, and original video to show what is happening now in Flint and surfacing in other communities and to spark dialogue about how faith communities can make a difference.
