“For me and the residents of my city, the Flint "crisis" didn't start with poison water. The lead in our water is another obstacle in a long list of hurdles we as Flint natives have been forced to try and overcome. We are resilient by nature and have always maintained pride in our city no matter how difficult things get, but this is something we nor any AMERICAN city should ever have to endure. For a moment imagine all of the things you wouldn't be able to do if the water in your city was poison, even worse think about what you would feel if people were actually dying because of it. Thank you to all of the entertainers who are helping my city through donations, but it should be understood that this is a long term issue and to fix the water system will take years & in some cases the lead poison is irreversible. This isn't a “for the moment” issue. Flint will need awareness, prayers and help to rebuild for years to come.”
Though Connor will continue to offer charitable contributions he has recently placed the city on his back in a manner much more familiar to him, music. Produced by The Fr3shmen, “Fresh Water For Flint” featuring Keke Palmer is a heartfelt, eye-opening track. The bass heavy song gives fans a front row seat to the daily frustrations happening there. “Before I was Jon Connor the artist I was Jon Freeman from Flint, Michigan. Flint, I love you. Flint Lives Matter. Human Lives Matter.”
