The WAGMI Water Project
Minority communities are facing lethal levels of disinvestment within the "The Worlds richest country".The Problem:In light of recent flooding due to climate change and global warming, the water main that services Jackson, MS (a city that's 82% black) it has left a city of over 150,000 citizens without drinkable water. With no relief in sight this experience is just one of the many examples of those with power failing the people. Time is of the essence, but no amount of water bottles can solve the underlying issue of infrastructural racism and the lack of sustainable investment within Black and Brown communities, that is where blockchain comes in.The Solution:We are using blockchain technology as a coordination tool to not only gather critical resources but to develop internet native infrastructure to ensure this never happens again and to build community control of public goods. By investing in this project you are helping to fund the distribution of safe, drinkable water, testing & purification kits for at home use & research and development of open source tools for early detection and defense against water contamination.Supplemental Resources:Climate Crisis Impact Worse in Black CitiesProject Lead:Catalyst (Uhuru Force Steward)Contributors:Walthova (La Familia DAO)Key Local Stakeholders:Cooperation JacksonEleven86Water Distribution
