Slide the City: Donate Proceeds of Detroit Water Slide to Families Without Water
We know how much fun water slides can be, especially for young children, so we're calling on Slide the City to donate their after-cost proceeds to paying water bills for families in need.
In addition, why not set a sliding fee scale so low-income families can also ride the slide? You could even bring the slide out of downtown to one of Detroit's many neighborhoods, where most of the city and its children live. We'll happily help promote your entertaining slide if everyone can have a chance to ride on it. If done right, the slide will create jobs and fun for Detroiters this summer.
Respect our community and do the right thing, Slide the City. Donate the proceeds of your Detroit water slide to families without water.

The request is being made for dignity and respect for Detroit residents that may not even see $15 in a week.

Be a part of the solution, Slide The City! Or risk being seen as so callously indifferent to the public health crisis of Detroit's residential water shut-offs it would put even Marie Antoinette to shame!
Our city officials are clueless. Do they have any idea what it is like to not have water to flush, to bathe, to do laundry, to wash your fruits and vegetables? Do they care that the people they are to serve and protect are being denied the human right to affordable, clean water. Note, I did not say free water; affordable.
This is outrageous! There is no way that this makes any sense OTHER than as a gift to the low-income families who are having/have had water turned off. They deserve every drop of profit from this otherwise insensitive project.
Lets do this!

We need to see the local needs of families addressed if permission for this water slide is granted.
