Children of Flint Water Crisis Make Change as Environmental and Health Activists
(FLINT, Mich.) — Their childhood memories are still vivid: warnings against drinking or cooking with tap water, enduring long lines for cases of water, washing from buckets filled with heated, bottled water. And for some, stomach aches, skin rashes and hair loss.

That set in motion a lead and bacteria public health crisis from which the city has not fully recovered.
