I am not surprised that adidas would defend Kanye on this. They, after all, very nearly marketed shoes with ankle shackles.

These legitimately came within a month of getting a full release, and were only stopped when a mass public boycott against the entire brand almost happened. This is a company that essentially tried to make money off the imagery of slavery.

Three years into the water crisis

And nobody gives a sh*t

bikonciousnessa

i only heard about this 2 months ago. its been 3 years????

daggers-drawn

Remember this started because Snyder switched Flint from a freshwater mountain lake to the polluted Flint River simply to allow his wife’s company to use the lake for bottling instead. This is a manufactured crisis of corruption and capitalism.

Also remember that the pipes corroded because they refused to pay for the chemical used to make the water less acidic.

Remember that when the first E. coli outbreak from the water popped up, the city hall was given water coolers by the state, free of charge, all while denying that the water could be unsafe to drink.

Remember that, despite having a huge budget surplus and a “rainy day fund,” set aside that could easily cover the cost of relocating the residents by buying their houses/paying their debt, or could cover a large chunk of the cost of replacing the pipes, the state has decided to continue to only put in the minimal amount of effort.

Remember that flint is majority POC, majority impoverished, and is still being faced with crippling water bills from the Detroit water supply company, where they are often charged $50 a month just to use the service, on top of the cost of their water bill.

Remember that there will now be an entire generation of children who will now be damaged by lead poisoning and damage from the multitude of neurotoxins.

Remember that this is what privatized natural resources looks like. Remember that these people are being punished for having the audacity to dare to be poor in an economy that won’t let them be anything but.

daggers-drawn

At every level, this has not been a mistake.

The State and City are most upset that people know its happening and are resisting nation-wide.

But if we lose focus they lose even the small amount of aid they’ve managed to get.

This is how they do it. It’s a siege on the public empathy. Eventually we become numb to the problem and despair. Or something bigger happens.

Then its business as usual again.

Don’t forget Flint

Everyone can help with at least one of these things.

1. Call Out The U.N., make sure they direct their efforts toward this cause

2. Support the International Organization For Migration (IOM).

3. Fight the “root causes” of slavery and trafficking

4. Hold social media companies accountable

According to the IOM, smugglers have previously used Facebook Live to broadcast videos of imprisoned migrants in Libya to send these videos to migrants’ family members as a way of extorting money for their release. The IOM is asking social media companies to ban the use of their services for the sharing of these types of videos. You can also write to Facebook, and have this stopped.

5. Donate to global anti-slavery companies

6. Help raise awareness!

7. Shop slave free

Atlanta is in the top 3 across the world for sex trafficking. Sad but true
