Lead piping has caused a deadly water crisis since 2014 in Flint, Michigan. Nearly 100,000 residents of the majority-black city were exposed to dangerously high lead levels in the water. The Michigan Department of Civil Rights blames the government’s negligence on systemic environmental racism. The contamination has been responsible for at least 12 deaths, and more than 80 people were sickened with Legionnaires’ disease.

Local residents are still advised to only drink filtered and bottled water. The city stopped giving out free bottled water in April, hurting many residents who can’t afford to buy it themselves. Flint isn’t expected to replace its pipe system until 2020, BBC reports. 

Flint needs voices ike Simoa to urge the government to replace it sooner. 

Luckily, Miss Michigan isn’t the only celebrity taking on the flint water crisis. In July, billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk announced he’d install water filters in Flint homes with contamination levels above FDA standards. And Beyoncé gave her fans the opportunity to donate to an organization aiding the Flint water crisis when buying tickets for her 2016 tour.
