Flint Michigan Water Crisis SumOfUs

We produced a news typography video for SumOfUs to encourage people to call on Governor Snyder to stop the privatization of Michigan’s water supply.

There’s a water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

Children are being rushed to the hospital with irreversible brain damage. The federal government has declared a state of emergency, and dangerous water contamination is causing residents to go blind, develop skin lesions, and lose hair and even their memory — just from bathing in their own homes.

The entire community is living in fear — all because Governor Rick Snyder wanted to save money, and switched the city’s water supply from one of the largest and cleanest water supplies in the world to the highly corrosive Flint River.
