Welcome back to another week of KK&F! This week’s guest, Jordan Chariton, is an independent reporter known for his coverage of left movements and protests like those at Standing Rock, the grassroots organizing around the Sanders campaign, and much more. Over repeated trips to Flint, Jordan has been on the ground, understanding how local government actively covered up its failure to protect the public, poisoning the Flint community as a result of its active negligence. Now, we’re having him on the show to talk about his new book on the corruption he exposed.
We hope you’ll enjoy this urgent and serious conversation revealing the true story of what happened in Flint, Michigan before and after the government announced the water crisis, how the local community continues to be affected by the tragedy, and who’s still paying attention to the suffering of working-class people when national public interest has long since turned away. We’re so grateful to Jordan for sharing his necessary reporting and insight with us. This episode will be available as a podcast tomorrow on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, and more.
