I grew up in Alabama not far from Lowndes county. It's been an ongoing ordeal for the people in that community. Not only water issues but also food deserts, school inequality and extreme poverty. The state has always attempted to keep black people down and extract their "revenge" for the loss of slave labor....and what happened as soon as these folks got some relief from their gerrymandered maps? The entire redrawn districts went blue! But progress is feared by the maggats and of course they want to harm the people of Lowndes county to "Keep them humble" ... Fucking disgusting! Thank you Patricia for highlighting these issues. Everyone please donate to creej.org and keep the incredible black people of Alabama in your hearts. They are survivors of generations of hate and persecution and we can all learn from their bravery and strength.

There is no way on God's green earth to justify this, other than just pure evil. Who could be so small and loathsome? Now you know the answer.

It’s racial terrorism. My heart is breaking for the families in that area. Raw sewage, illnesses, parasitic infections, etc. It’s inhumane! I want to see the resisters include this in their protests.
