Dear friend, I just started a petition titled "Real Inspections for the people of Flint!" I've been living in Flint my entire life and I've been working tirelessly to advocate for my children here in Flint. I've organized and called attention to Michigan cutting off our supply of bottled water and spoken out about what is happening to us and our children here in Flint. No matter what, I won't stop working to hold our leaders accountable. Unfortunately, Flint is still being poisoned by lead and our community members are still being disparaged and dismissed by the state of Michigan. Gov. Snyder promised the people of Flint the state would conduct home inspections to assure our safety from even more lead poisoning. Governor Snyder is not keeping his word, state inspectors are lying about inspecting homes and our children are still in danger as a result. Tell Gov. Snyder to conduct real inspections for the people of Flint. A report from the University of Michigan has determined what we’ve known since the beginning of this lead crisis-- Gov. Snyder is responsible for the lead poisoning of thousands of Flint’s children. Instead of acting when we first spoke up the Governor pumped water filled with lead into our community. Now, Gov. Snyder is working to make sure the pain and damage they caused is re-lived as we wonder if our homes are unsafe without inspections. Real inspections of homes in Flint would give Black parents the best chance of making sure their children can have the best possible future for themselves. Will you sign the petition and forward this email to make sure your voice is heard? Add your name here. Flint, Michigan is ground zero in attacking the Black community through environmental racism. Only once people in Flint organized and advocated their way into the national conversation did the state pretend to show concern. Now, Gov. Snyder and Michigan have decided to punish the people of Flint, again because they believe the nation is no longer watching. Sign now and show Governor Snyder that we are not going to stop fighting for Flint. Demand real accountability, and real inspections in Flint. Demand real action from Gov. Snyder in Flint now. Thank you, Ariana Hawk
