Shiloh , Alabama , residents say a project by the Alabama Department of Transportation to widen an adjacent highway led to flooding on their properties.

When the state denied responsibility for the flooding, they turned to the federal government for help.

Advocates followed top federal officials around the country to call for action.

With the Biden administration ending Monday , they feel they are running out of time.

Shiloh 's 150-year legacy still hangs in the balance.

"We'll continue to do everything we can, both within and beyond any kind of formal and official steps, to try to support that community," Buttigieg says.

"Their community's been turned into a drainage ditch by the Alabama Department of Transportation ," Sierra Club's Ben Jealous says.
