Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton put a call out to supporters Monday to donate to a fund that benefits the children of Flint, Michigan, who have been affected by lead-contaminated drinking water.
The one-minute web video asks supporters to donate to the Community Foundation of Greater Flint’s FlintKids.org campaign. The fund will serve the longterm needs of children in Flint.
The video features Flint Mayor Karen Weaver and three area pastors. When Weaver endorsed Clinton over her rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), she cited Clinton’s early response to the water crisis.
Her campaign also sent out an email Sunday, according to The Detroit News, with the subject line: “Will you help the families of Flint?”
Flint switched its water supply in 2014 to save money while the city was lead by an emergency manager appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder (R).
