Transforming urban #stormwater & #wastewater systems is the focus of our #KresgeCREWS convening. Letitia Carpenter & @Benny_Starr of US Water Alliance are leading us in a storytelling circle. Ask yourself: Who am I before this work begins? Who do I want to be when this work ends?

“The work we do in the #water sector is intergenerational. I am so proud to see so many young people fighting for water #equity. We must empower each generation to keep this work moving forward.” - Angela Chalk #KresgeCREWS Kresge Foundation @amchalk62 Laurie Mazur Island Press Urban Resilience Project
