WEATHER TOMORROW HI: 36 LO: 21 Michigan State routed Michigan at Crisler Center on Saturday » INSIDE State Supremacy ALLISON FARRAND/Daily Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton takes pictures with churchgoers after speaking at the House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church in Flint on Sunday. Presidential hopeful discusses water crisis By LYDIA MURRAY Daily Staff Reporter Democratic presidential can- didate Hillary Clinton visited Flint on Sunday to attend a com- munity meeting with Flint Mayor Karen Weaver. During remarks at the meeting, Clinton discussed her support for the Flint commu- nity amid the city’s water crisis and federal states of emergency. The Flint water crisis began in April 2014 when the city switched from Detroit city water to Flint River water. In the weeks and months following the switch, citizens began reporting adverse health effects, but the city didb’t return to Detroit water until Oct. 2015. Clinton’s visit follows her mention of the Flint water cri- sis in the last two Democratic debates and on the campaign trail. Additionally, the visit came just two days before the New Hampshire primary, where Clin- ton trails Bernie Sanders by 20 points, according to a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll. Clinton’s appearance was preceded by a sermon by Pastor Kenneth L. Stewart in the House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church where the meeting was held, in which he encouraged patrons to wait for God’s assis- tance in the crisis. Clinton discussed the need for both immediate action in the form of infrastructure improve- ments and long-term monitoring and care for the affected chil- dren. Lead exposure in young Gathering initially created in response to Return of Kings meet-up By RIYAH BASHA Daily Staff Writer Nearly 100 protesters gath- ered in the Diag Saturday night to attend a rally for women’s rights awareness in response to a proposed meet-up of self- proclaimed men’s rights group Return of Kings in downtown Ann Arbor. The protest carried on despite the event’s cancella- tion late last week. LSA sophomore Susanna Wang created the rally’s Face- book event protesting ROK’s meet-ups, which turned into a community effort to address women’s rights and issues including reproductive health, sexism on campus and discrimi- nation against sexuality. Both city organizers and students said their aim was to frame the rally positively — as a show of feminism and solidarity — rath- er than an angry reaction to the proposed meet-up. One of the event’s organizers, Lauren Ash- ley, a Hazel Park resident, said the interest the event garnered on Facebook moved her to alter its message. “When we found out over 600 people were interested in com- ing … we wanted to turn this into something good and focus on the positive,” Ashley said. “Instead of focusing all of our energy and resources on these awful men, we wanted to cel- ebrate women instead.” ROK gained national atten- tion on social media last week after announcing “interna- tional tribal meetups” for mem- bers. The group, led by founder Roosh Valizadeh, is infamous for advocating agendas such as the legalization of rape on private property and gender- based subjugation. The Uni- versity’s Department of Public Safety and Security and the Ann Arbor Police Department said Agency says sexually active women not on birth control should avoid alcohol By KATIE PENROD Daily News Editor On Tuesday, the Center for Disease Control released a statement recommending that sexually active women who are not on birth control should refrain from drinking alcohol. Since the statement’s release, the CDC has received harsh backlash from women citing the recommendation as antiquated and extreme. During pregnancy, if women consume alcohol, they are at risk of giving their newborns fetal alcohol syndrome. This syndrome can encompass symptoms such as learning dis- abilities and heart defects. Women’s Studies Prof. Joanne Motino Bailey, director of the Nurse Midwifery Ser- vice at the University, said she thought that while there is some merit to the CDC’s recommen- dation, the way it was released assumed a lot about sexually active women. “I have no idea what their tactic is in this very broad, far- reaching justification,” she said. “I think it would be totally appropriate for women who are planning a pregnancy to avoid alcohol; that makes complete sense. But this broad-arching idea, assuming women are hav- ing sex with men, is making men’s responsibility not even considered.” LSA senior Stephanie Mecham, director of circle engagement for Lean In at the University, echoed Bailey’s sen- timents, saying that the CDC’s statement leaves out certain subsets of women and leads to questionable assumptions about who is sexually active and in what way. “I think it’s really problemat- ic because it definitely excludes a lot of people. It excludes a lot of people who identify as queer or lesbian and people who are ALLISON FARRAND/Daily Justin Idleburg of St. Louis unloads donations of water at a “water tailgate” outside Flint City Hall on Saturday. The “water tailgate” was part of the effort manifested in the tri-campus summit to resolve the Flint water crisis. Over 50 from Flint, Dearborn and Ann Arbor discuss implementing change By LARA MOEHLMAN Daily Staff Reporter Members of the University community gathered at the Uni- versity’s Flint campus Saturday morning for the inaugural Tri- Campus Community Engagement Summit, where students from the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint communities came together to explore issues including rights of campus workers, community organizing, body image and refu- gee support. The event, which drew roughly 50 students, was centered around the theme of social justice and the University’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. symposium: #WhoWill- BeNext. The day’s workshops and activities were entirely student- run, a product of planning and preparation from a cross-campus committee of student leaders. In her opening address to stu- dents, Susan Borrego, chancellor of the University’s Flint campus, said though the meeting was held in Flint due to a scheduling conflict, the relocation was ulti- mately a valuable opportunity for students to engage in community networking within the context of the city’s current water contami- nation crisis. “It couldn’t be a more impor- tant moment in the life of this community,” Borrego said, add- Keynote speaker discusses link between work and social movements By EMILY ROBERTS Daily Staff Reporter As part of the 40th Annual Alfred L. Edwards Conference and Celebration, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, scholar, social activist, author and reverend, gave the key- note address to a crowd in the Ross School of Business Friday evening. Lecture attendees included cur- rent Business students, potential students, alumni and guests. Dyson’s talk covered a wide range — he jumped from sharing an anecdote about receiving a call from O.J. Simpson to discussing the significance of race in profes- sional athletes’ reputations, drop- ping names like Cam Newton and Serena Williams, to political responsibility in Flint, Michigan. His stories were often punctuated with bits of humor and song — from belting a line from Adele’s “Hello” See RALLY, Page 3A See CLINTON, Page 3A See CDC, Page 3A See FLINT, Page 3A See CONFERENCE, Page 3A ACTIVISM RESEARCH CDC advice on drinking faces heavy backlash Tri-campus summit aims to foster student organizing CAMPUS LIFE Conference looks at need for diversity in business Women’s rights rally promotes solidarity Clinton visits state to attend Flint community meeting
