Rianna Eckel, Maryland organizer for Food & Water Watch, discusses a recent Guardian investigation into a water crisis in the US. This Guardian report looked at 12 diverse cities across the US and found that in all of them, the annual costs of water had increased by 27% to 154% from 2010 to 2018, becoming unaffordable, in their calculation, to most of those cities’ poor residents.

Have they “joined the neoliberals to derail any real attempt at challenging the devastating power of the police,” as Kimberley has written?
