Is there a blog or something that compiles all these things with sources or smth?
I can't find anything about her orchestrating a protest. I just see articles about her run ins with BLM. Do you have a source?
CDF is good of her. Although most people's contentions with Hillary is the prospect of her prioritising her donors over her constituency. So it would be more productive to list what she has done while in office.
And she wasn't the reason why Flint was covered. And Bernie spoke on it long before Hillary.

Sure.
THIS speaks more about her investigation work she did with the Children's Defense Fund.
And
THIS speaks about the school activism I was speaking of. The part you're looking for is ironically enough under the "Goldwater Girl" section. You probably should read the entire article. It's a bit long, but a good read nonetheless. Sorry it took so long, I left work and then once I got home had to find the articles.
And no, Bernie didn't tackle Flint till a good while after Hillary. He met with some people from there in February 15th in Detroit, which is what he alluded to when said he met behind closed doors with people from Flint, at the last debate. Hillary did that a month earlier than him and she was the one that spoke about it in her closing remarks of a debate where after she mentioned it, in Bernie's closing remarks, he agreed and then stated that the governor should resign or be fired. After speaking with the Mayor in late December/early January on how she can help, she was told to get people talking and spread the word about their crisis. She went to the media and blasted the state governor and called for federal assistance. Which not that long after, Flint was getting daily national coverage in the media. She has physically been in Flint way more than Bernie has and even did events there in a church. Bernie's first physical trip to the city was a week before Super Tuesday.
