This is my water filter. My filter can bring clean safe water to communities dealing with a lead crisis (Like Flint, MI and Newark, NJ). It's powered by @Hydroviv_h2o.
Every $1 donated provides the equivalent of 160 bottles of water.

At #CfASummit, Vivian Graubard tells of a time a philanthropy offered support to help solve problems with tech at the border, but only if they'd build a solution on the blockchain. Funders, with all due respect, please do not do this. This is not how to solve our civic problems.
