1/ A year ago today, @publicintegrity published the first installment of our "Abandoned in America" project — one that profiled six communities where residents say the crushing effects of poverty and gov't neglect aren’t improving — they’ve getting worse. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
@publicintegrity 2/ The stories are as relevant today as they were then. The first past of six-part series featured Presidio, Texas, and how a border wall could very well kill the little community, which is heavily reliant on its Mexican sister city across the Rio Grande apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
@publicintegrity 3/ The second story featured Robeson County, N.C., which in an age of increasingly powerful storms had been hit by two killer hurricanes in three years — and wasn't getting the relief it needed to rebuild and recover. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
@publicintegrity 4/ The third story takes you to a place where it's really, really, really difficult for residents to execute one of their most fundamental rights as Americans — voting. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
@publicintegrity 5/ The fourth story explains how residents in the poorest neighborhood in one of California's poorest big cities feel as if they've been doubly screwed by Donald Trump — both in his capacity as a businessman and president. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
@publicintegrity 6/ The fifth story details how some residents of St. Louis are unable to call their houses a home because of new obstacles from the federal government. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
@publicintegrity 7/ The sixth story reveals what it's like to get an education in a school district that "ranks near the bottom of the list in almost every measure of academic performance in the state — a state ranked dead last in the U.S. in terms of education quality." apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
