7 Years.
Flint, MI has been without clean water for 7 years.
The effects of the water crisis will be felt for generations.

Flint is not the only city with toxic water.
It is one of the hundreds of cities across the country with bad water.

Thanks to the ~100 people, 2 aldermen, coalition orgs, and 9+ years of activists who joined us this afternoon -- the 9th anniversary of Mayor Emanuel's closing half of the City's #MentalHealth clinics.
Together we can push @ChicagosMayor Lightfoot to give us #TreatmentNotTrauma!

Guns are the most frequently used weapon to kill trans people.
In fact, 3 in 4 trans Americans killed in the U.S. were killed with a gun and it's often Black trans women who are the victims.
