LEO-Flint Water Fundraiser

Attention LEO members, friends and allies:

As you probably already know, the city of Flint is currently involved in a prolonged water crisis due to exceptionally high levels of lead found within city drinking water. High levels of lead have been found not only at the University of Michigan- Flint campus and within Flint public schools, but also within the homes of dozens of LEO members.

The time to act is now. During the next few weeks, LEO is asking any and all members, friends and allies to make a financial contribution that will go towards helping the community of Flint have access to clean, un-poisoned water until the crisis is resolved. All donations will go towards providing clean drinking water to the community and public schools.

The Lecturers' Employee Organization is the union of all nontenure-track faculty at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint. We are affiliated with AFT-Michigan and the AFL-CIO (#6244).

Thank you!
