what would help in michigan? >> i can't emphasize enough, our democracy is going to be saved by the people. what actually happened in michigan in 2020 was not just that more people voted than ever before but that people showed up to local canvassing boards and demanded that the truth be told and their vote be counted and they supported those election administrators who did the right thing. that's what's ultimately going to move the leaders, by people getting engaged, demanding that their votes be protected in '22 and in '24, serving as election workers, running to be local clerks as well. but truly, it's people who are watching the show right now who are truly going to enable us to save democracy by getting involved, getting angry, demanding that their leaders do more and showing up to even the local meetings and conversations where people are talking about audits and elections and running elections and being a part of the process and protecting the process in their own communities. >> i mean, just as you're talk

but michigan's former mayor says a settlement is far from remarkable. is it a remarkable achievement for the attorneys that got a lot of money? was a remarkable achievement for them. i mean, there are some people that are going to get like, you know, maybe 1500000, those people that have lost their lives. but there are a lot of other people that lost their lives as well. most of the money, 600000000, is coming from the state of michigan, which was accused of repeatedly overlooking the devastating risks of switching flints, water source in 2014 without treating the water to prevent contamination. at least 12 people died and dozens more were sickened. i went by for that long time ago. so this is not gonna happen here is going to have a lead pipe. you're going to have to be replaced flint managers appointed by then governor rick snyder, and regulators in his administration. allow the city to use the flint reverend 20142015 without treating the water to reduce corrosion. as a result, lead an old pipes broke off and flow through the tops people work for me t

bye the lead water crisis in flint, michigan. the suit was brought forward by tens of thousands of residents. most of the money will be coming from the state of michigan, which was accused of overlooking issues leading to the water crisis. but lawyers fees could consume as much as $200000000.00 of the sacrament. money, let's bring in melissa mays. she's a flint resident and founder of the water you fighting for campaign and joins us live from flint in michigan. melissa, great to have you with us. so $626000000.00. sounds like a lot of money. in reality though, is that going to be enough for the victims? i mean, given as we just said, that 200000000 that's maybe a 3rd a bit weak gobbled up by lawyers fees. well, even if you take the lawyers fees out of it, there's a $100000.00 people in the city of flint. so if you divide that 600000000 from the date down by that it's not very much. and then you look at what the costs have been the fact that its been 7 and a half years about dealing with, you know, contaminated water medical fees
