Online creators, led by MrBeast and Mark Rober, want to raise $40 million for clean water access
NEW YORK (AP) — Online creators from dozens of countries, led by MrBeast and popular science YouTuber Mark Rober, are launching a $40 million fundraiser to build water quality projects around the world. The monthlong crowdfunding campaign, touted as the biggest YouTube collaboration and called #TeamWater, promises to rally their combined 2 billion subscribers around combating unsafe water sources. Funds will primarily benefit WaterAid, an international nonprofit that builds community-tailored infrastructure ranging from solar-powered wells to rainwater harvesting systems. More than 2 billion people lacked access to safely managed drinking water as of 2022, according to the United Nations. Organizers want to put a dent in that figure by providing sustainable access for 2 million people — and instilling new generations with a lifelong commitment to advocacy. Joining #TeamWater are smaller creators and some of the biggest names online such as streaming giant Kai Cenat, trendy YouTubers the Stokes Twins and sports entertainers Dude Perfect. Whether they are filming serious explainers or silly water-themed challenges, creators are encouraged to produce content that is authentic to their brand. Water access was identified as a solvable issue that could also unite their mass global following. But MrBeast CEO Jeff Housenbold acknowledged they are better awareness builders than infield executors So, they sought a partner with global reach, existing community partnerships and long-term change-making abilities. That led them to WaterAid. The organization first started talking with MrBeast's team two years ago, according to WaterAid America CEO Kelly Parsons. She said WaterAid typically engages communities for up to a year designing the proper solution. That work sometimes involves training local water technicians. 'It all begins and ends in the communities we work with and through them to ensure design that lasts,' Parsons said. 'It's about people more than about plumbing.' While WaterAid would did not provide a list of all the places where funds would go, countries include Colombia, Bangladesh, Ecuador, Malawi and Kenya. Charity partners GivePower and the Alok Foundation are also helping implementation in rural Kenya and Brazil, respectively. U.S.-based projects include an atmospheric water generator for an assisted living facility in Jackson, Mississippi, where the fragile water system nearly collapsed three years ago. The nonprofit DigDeep is helping fix crumbling infrastructure in the small town of Rhodell, West Virginia. Alex and Alan Stokes, whose 129 million subscribers make them one of YouTube's biggest channels, filmed in a Nepalese village where the campaign is building a 15,000-liter tank. The trip recalled their own upbringing in a Chinese town where their grandfather walked miles to fill 5-gallon water jugs. 'Being there in person was definitely one of those experiences that brought it all back for us,' Alex said. '(We) saw these kids there and it just reminded us a lot of our childhood as well.' The multi-platform drive follows the 2019 #TeamTrees and 2021 #TeamSeas campaigns, which reportedly drew more than $50 million altogether. That money helped plant millions of trees and remove millions of pounds of waste from bodies of water. Those humanitarian efforts, however, drew criticism that they promoted oversimplified solutions to complicated issues and applied Band-Aids instead of addressing the main drivers of forest loss or ocean pollution. 'Ideally, you would not use philanthropy simply to take away the symptoms of whatever is the problem,' said Patricia Illingworth, a Northeastern University philosophy professor who writes about ethics in philanthropy. 'But, rather, you would want to address the root cause.' Matt Fitzgerald, a digital campaign strategist who has organized the efforts, said the campaigns were never intended to be the 'end all be all.' He hopes they serve as an entry point for deeper commitments. While the previous two campaigns were about 'a fist-bump, Mother Earth-style of environmentalism,' he said, this one seeks to center people while still 'keeping the planet top of mind.' 'No matter how big a mass internet mobilization moment might be, real progress on these issues demands people continuing to pay attention and continuing to stay involved,' Fitzgerald said. 'To me, the way you do that, is you reach people's hearts before you try to convince them with their minds.' ___ Associated Press coverage of philanthropy and nonprofits receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

David Letterman Rips CBS Over ‘Late Show' Cancellation: 'Pure Cowardice'
Former Late Show host David Letterman has made his first direct comments about the cancellation of the CBS late night franchise — and they aren't positive. Speaking with his former executive producer, Barbara Gaines, in a YouTube video Friday, Letterman called the axing of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert 'pure cowardice' and said he doesn't believe the official line from CBS that the decision was purely about economics (the show has reportedly become a money-loser for the network). More from The Hollywood Reporter 'South Park' Creators Reveal Network Battle Over Premiere's Trump Penis as They Joke: "We're Terribly Sorry" Dissenting FCC Commissioner: Paramount Chose "Capitulation Over Courage" In Dealing With Trump Steve Buscemi Recalls Failed Audition for Barry Levinson's 'Tin Men': "There Was This Silence" 'The idea that they're hiding behind money — they've given [Colbert] another 10 months, that's another huge chunk of money they're gonna lose, according to them,' Letterman says in the video (watch it in full below). 'I don't think it was money. I think it was all to make sure [Skydance head David Ellison, set to become CEO of Paramount when the two companies' merger closes in early August] were solid spending dad's money.' (For much of the video, Letterman refers to Ellison as 'the Ellison twins' and 'the Oracle boys,' as in the software giant headed by Larry Ellison, David Ellison's father. Co-host Mary Barclay corrects him at one point, noting that David Ellison is not a twin, but he continues with the bit.) 'If they were losing that kind of money — you're telling me losing this kind of money happened yesterday?' Letterman continues. 'I bet they were losing this money a month ago or six weeks ago. Or they were never losing that kind of money. They did not handle Stephen Colbert, the face of that network, in the way he deserves.' Letterman's comments are his first directly addressing the cancellation of The Late Show, which he originated on CBS in 1993 and hosted until 2015. Colbert announced the cancellation on his July 17 show, although The Late Show will continue through the 2025-26 season. Letterman's YouTube channel, where his conversation with Gaines is posted, earlier this week shared a collection of Late Show clips featuring Letterman lambasting network brass. Letterman calls the decision 'sad,' though he jokes that it could be good for Colbert: 'For Stephen, I love this, because he gets to be a martyr.' He also relates the Late Show cancellation to CBS settling a lawsuit by Donald Trump against 60 Minutes for $16 million over the objections of the show's staff. 'This is pure cowardice,' Letterman says. 'You're telling me 60 Minutes, the pinnacle of journalistic excellence and integrity for decades … they decided, 'Aw, we're sorry, let us give you $20 million.' I believe this is in the wake of that.' Letterman closes with one last swipe at CBS and Paramount management. 'I think one day, if not today, the people at CBS who have manipulated and handled this are going to be embarrassed,' he says. 'This is gutless.'
