Flint doesn't have clean water. Karen Weaver, the recently elected mayor said "Had the city not been either predominately African American and poor, the crisis may not have happened, or else the response would have been different."

Local and state governments have a habit of ignoring the demands and needs of the citizens they serve, especially when it involves those from marginalized groups. This is a prime example of what happens whengovernment puts the needs of business over people. Please take time to really look at your representative's track records to see if they are making a stand for marginalized folks. So when election time comes you can have someone on your side in times of crisis like Karen Weaver.
