Eight months ago, Richmond’s water system failed. Some were without water, others had to boil and store water for days.

Small businesses closed down. Workers were sent home without pay. Hospitals and ambulances were disrupted. And Trump took away $12 million that Richmond had been promised to fix its water system.

The young organizers participating in Richmond’s Climate Survival Incubator began leading a response. A 3-day long water survival training helped build their skills. Watch this video to take a look.
