Hip Hop 4 Flint New Bedford

Hip Hop 4 Flint New Bedford On March 19th Hip Hop 4 Flint New Bedford will gather community at hip hop & spoken word event to collect to fund raise for water filters to bring to Flint

On March 19, 2016 La Soul Renaissance is organizing a Hip Hop 4 Flint New Bedford Event - in solidarity the global day of unity for the city of Flint. There are currently 42 cities on board. In April 2014 while the city was under the control of a state appointed emergency manager, their water became contaminated. The toxic water in Flint, MI has made the water undrinkable and put the city in a sta

te of emergency. The contaminated water hit the children of flint the hardest. Some have experienced permanent and more so devastating health defects from lead poisoning. Additionally there is bacteria in the water that has lead to 10 death from Legionaries Disease and over 87 people hospitalized with deadly illness caused by the contaminated water. La Soul Renaissance aims to gather local leaders and artists in the hip hop community for a local hip hop culture fundraiser. The goal of the event is to collect monetary donations to purchase home water filters and receive donated filters to be delivered to Flint. We believe in the power of the local New Bedford Hip Hop community, and believe we can create create a positive impact that can help address the crisis our brothers and sisters in Flint are experiencing.
