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.

“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.”

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