THE AUDACITY: Gary Residents Left In The Dark For Over A Week

The NewsOne reports:

While public officials move at the speed of molasses to fix basic infrastructure in majority-Black communities, Gary residents are forced to beg for survival on social media after over a week without electricity. It’s the same old story: when Black folks need basic utilities restored, urgency magically vanishes.

Indiana power outage crisis drags on, residents struggle without electricity, officials work to restore power and aid communities.

We shouldn’t have to go viral on social media just to get basic utilities turned back on in Black neighborhoods. Municipal apathy strikes again.
