As I reflect on the election results, what they mean for our nation, for our work in public health policy, and for our communities, I know that as advocates and changemakers, our collective heritage is one of determination, hope, and resilience.

As jurisdictions continue to make changes to the authority of #PublicHealth departments, it is critical to examine the legal authorities that can affect preparedness for and response to emerging and zoonotic infectious diseases.

A10: In 50 years, we hope to—and believe we can—be talking about lead poisoning like an old health & environmental hazard from another time! We need buy-in from governments at all levels & a concerted effort along with community & private industry partners. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2024

[National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) @NCHH]

#NLPPWchat Q10: In keeping with the theme of bright futures, what’s your vision of how we’ll be talking about lead poisoning 50 years from now? What partners will help us realize that vision? (Maybe you met one of them today? Don’t forget to tag them!) #NLPPW2024 #LeadFreeKids

[National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) @NCHH]

A7d: Funding at scale is the biggest barrier to finishing the fight against lead. We’ve been excited to see innovation in approaches to financing this work (we’re looking at you, @LeadSafeCLE) and hope to see even more advances in this space. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2024

[ChangeLab Solutions @ChangeLabWorks]

A8b: Climate change may also end up forcing people to spend less time outside and more time in their houses, increasing overall potential housing-related lead exposure. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2024

[ChangeLab Solutions @ChangeLabWorks]

A8a: Both are environmental justice issues that disproportionately impact vulnerable communities! Climate change will likely further stress/degrade existing housing structures, potentially leading to increased lead exposure. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2024

[National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) @NCHH]

#NLPPWchat Q8: Following a summer of extreme heat and a fall with unrelenting storms, the impact of climate change is being felt across the nation. Why should young people worried about climate change also care about lead poisoning prevention? #NLPPW2024 #LeadFreeKids
