We are a hardy, ragtag band of do-gooders struggling against political corruption and fighting for a strong Democracy. We work to get young people involved in politics to change Flint politics and improve our community. A government of the people and for the people should never forget any of its people. States like Michigan and cities like Flint, which have been hardest hit by economic changes, should never be forgotten by our elected officials. Young people are the ones affected the most and it is up to us to get politicians elected who will build the nation that our forefathers dreamed.
