Flint, Michigan - Water Crisis
Circa 2017
Powerful graffiti artwork expressing the pains of the Flint Water Crisis.
It all started…
In 2014 (and beyond) the city of Flint has been without clean water. Although many efforts have been made by countless individuals including ourselves, the root problem can not be resolved without the replacement of all the pipping in Flint, MI . Many people don't know this but the water became contaminated when the city of Flint decided to save money buy switching their water supply from the Detroit river to the Flint river. The Flint River's water was described as acidic and began eating the already aged pipping through out the city. In our efforts to help, we raised around two thousand dollars over a span of 3-4 months and spent the money on shower head filters. The day before we helped distribute tons of water through out the day. For every two "Flint Tour" shirts we sell from world apparel co. we send a filter to Flint.
