Hand washing doesn't happen without water. Thanks to @CharlesMBlow for highlighting our work on insecure water access and #plumbingpoverty in the USA. Want more #waterinsecurity facts to blow your mind on a Tuesday morning? A thread. 1/ https://twitter.com/CharlesMBlow/status/1246890824014729216
In the United States, one of the world's wealthiest countries, 1,121,120 people (+/- 25,537 margin of error) lacked a household piped water connection during the 2013-2017 period. That's a population roughly the size of San José, CA. Imagine a city of the plumbing poor. 2/
Who is being left behind? New + emerging research from @HWISE_RCN suggests US households that are low-income, non-white, renters, immigrants, residents of mobile homes. Plus ppl without homes or conventional shelter. See work by @gregspierce @ProfessorJepson @AWutich + more 3/
Before you get all "2008 Great Recession" on me, the number of U.S. hh in #plumbingpoverty has NOT significantly changed since the year 2000. Why? Because the insidious effects of racial capitalism + entrenched inequality have been at work in America for a long, long time. 4/
Maps and geovisualizations matter. We LOVE this work by @LucasBrownEyes who map-riffs a brilliant overlay between our #plumbingpoverty viz and Native lands.
Also, is #mapriff a thing? You saw it here first. 5/

Crazy thing, our #plumbingpoverty team is crunching the numbers and we find that Native Americans are many times more likely to lack piped water EVEN IN CITIES, which suggests
disappropriation of water from indigenous ppl far beyond the reservation. More to come. 6/

In the meantime, while you're washing them hands, check out the brilliant work by scholars in the @HWISE network who are digging into #waterinsecurity even in the places we least expect. 7/
And if you like the #plumbingpoverty research, please cite it (even the map). DM me for a copy if you're behind a paywall. Stay tuned to this space, more to roll out this year. 8/ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/24694452.2018.1530587?journalCode=raag21
Big love to my #plumbingpoverty collaborators. The team that karaokes together, crunches #R and publishes together. end/ #rolldeep
