How Little Miss Flint is still making a difference in her community, five years into water crisis.
Mari Copeny, better known as"Little Miss Flint," rose to national fame for her advocacy work, and became a voice for her community amid a devastating and ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan, despite being only 11 years old.
"I wanted to speak up and say, 'Hey, the water is bad ... someone please fix it?'" Copeny said."And they never did fix it so I said, 'Welp, you have to listen to me because I'm a kid.'" "People are still using bottled water and they're not drinking or using the water to do anything," she said. Flint resident Shakeeta Brooks added that she is"definitely not drinking the water and I'm never going to let my son drink it again."
