Members of Indiana’s Black Legislative Caucus have organized a drive to collect bottled water for residents of Flint, Michigan, where lead contamination has left municipal water undrinkable.

Here’s Sen. Lonnie Randolph (D-East Chicago), who chairs the Caucus --

“We just want to do what we can in our share, so to speak, because whenever you have talk about something like this, everybody’s involved," Randolph says. "Everybody has to do their share.”

They're also collecting diapers, baby wipes, and nonperishable food items.

The donation drop-off location is at the north end of the statehouse, open through Thursday.
