Lead is a neurotoxin that has negative long term impacts on health and early childhood development.
Drinking water contaminated with lead has disproportionately burdened low-income communities of color. We need to move quickly to replace lead service lines fairly and equitably.
There is no safe amount of lead. In Chicago, low-income and communities of color are drinking significant amount of lead in their homes and school. Thank you to all who joined this rally that demanded local and federal action to #gettheleadout@NRDC@bridges_puentes@SE_TaskForce
