We're excited to be tweeting LIVE from Netroots this week! Join us as we have a vibrant discussion about #Detroit food justice and water.

Join us this Friday, July 18, 2014, at 1 p.m., EST as @MomsRising chats with @PeoplesWaterDet.

During the chat we'll touch topics that Detroiters are experiencing, including:

  1. Detroit's current water crisis as a public health issue with clear public-health oriented solutions
  2. intersections of health and criminal justice system (for both those behind bars as well as survivors of crime)
  3. the impact of trauma

Spread the word. Invite a friend. Share on social media. And, don't forget to bring your outside voice!
