Melissa Mays, Flint resident and public health advocate, speaks in depth about the efforts Flint residents made to bring attention to the water crisis and compel the State of Michigan to fix the problems it created in the city. In our conversation, Melissa addresses the insult of paying for high-priced public water that has been tainted with heavy metals and other (undisclosed) contaminants. She also touches on the impact of the city’s sluggish recovery as well as Flint residents’ efforts to continue the fight for justice.
