Send a Direct Action Training Team to Detroit

Some of our trainers have been asked to provide non violent direct action training to adults, and if possible, to youths in Detroit who are resisting hundreds of thousands of water shut offs in their communities.  We want to support them as they fight this aggregious violation of their human rights, but we do not feel right accepting any of their money for travel expenses, as Detroit activists are already paying out of pocket for food, baby wipes, and water for affected families.  We're therefore asking our friends and allies for some travel money, to get our trainers there, and to help them purchase some needed supplies for trainees.  Any funds that are unused at the end of the training trip will be handed over to Detroit organizers who are providing for those affected by the shut offs.
