Meet Our Speakers
Mari Copeny, ‘Little Miss Flint’
Activist, Philanthropist, and “Future President”
Known as ‘Little Miss Flint,’ Mari Copeny gained national prominence for writing a letter about her city’s water crisis at the age of 8 to President Obama, who visited Flint and ultimately approved $100 million in relief aid. Now 14, Mari has continued to raise awareness on environmental racism and America’s deteriorating water infrastructure.
