What's Up With the Water?
Episode 1
Wednesday, 26 October, 2022
When asked to think about water equity and justice, I’m sure many of us have pictures of Flint, Michigan that come to mind. However, many people would be shocked to learn that parts of Buffalo, NY have higher rates of lead exposure than Flint. During this episode “What's Up With the Water?”, we will discuss with Urban Planner, Art Hall the history of Buffalo’s water, and all the ways local residents are taking water justice into their own hands. Open Buffalo, Citizen Action, WE ACT for Environmental Justice and dozens of community based organizations are taking a leading role in helping to bring clean drinking water to poor and communities of color from across the nation.
