In D.C., the Women of Flint Just Want You To Remember They Still Don't Have Clean Water
LatestWe did not spend long talking to the women of Flint, Michigan, at the Women’s March on Washington, because our conversation kept being interrupted: they were, simply, too popular with attendees who kept coming over to offer hugs and take photos.
Helen Brock, below, was happy to have the attention; she came specifically so that the contamination of Flint’s water supply would not be forgotten by fellow Americans the way it seems to have been by the government. “They don’t care. They really don’t care. They caught themselves fixing a little, few pipes, but it’s still just as bad,” she said. “It’s like we the forgotten city, now. You know, the news is off it, so they don’t care.”
