DESCRIPTION:The poisoning of Flint’s children is the logical result of a state 
 takeover.  Overriding local democracy, state governments are imposing 
 “emergency managers” with extraordinary powers from Flint, to Detroit, 
 to Oakland and City College of SF. Corporations push elected officials to 
 use these state takeovers to deal with now-disposable workers they no 
 longer need, and to privatize valuable public assets like water and prime 
 real estate. The Flint crisis is one result of a political austerity 
 program inflicted on increasingly impoverished and marginalized 
 communities.  Today over half of Black people in Michigan are living under 
 emergency managers.   \n\nRetired Flint autoworker Claire McClinton will 
 speak on fighting the strategy of toxic neglect that poisoned her city’s 
 water.   Others will connect the crisis in Flint with the damage caused by 
 the state takeover at City College. We’ll discuss how we can work in 
 solidarity with the people of Flint and with Reverend Edward Pinkney, now 
 imprisoned for opposing a corporate dictatorship in Benton Harbor, 
 Michigan. We’ll discuss how to stop the Michigan Model of Toxic Neglect 
 as it threatens to crush democracy in the Bay Area and elsewhere.
