In March, Mari wrote a letter to the president telling him about what she is doing to stand up for those drinking bad water in her community.
The city of Flint has been in the throes of a public health crisis after its water became contaminated with lead in 2014.
“I am one of the children that is affected by this water, and I’ve been doing my best to march in protest and to speak out for all the kids that live here in Flint,” Mari wrote.
She asked the president to meet with her and other members of her community in D.C.
Obama did her one better, and came to meet her and her community in person in April. She was really, really excited to meet him.
“I don’t expect him to come in here and say, ‘I’m going to wave a magic wand and fix it,’” Brezzel told MLive.com, adding she considers herself an independent voter. “It doesn’t work like that, but I do want to hear what he can offer the city if he becomes elected.”
