We’re filled with gratitude for the community we’ve built together and the accomplishments our supporters have made possible since 1992: raising awareness among new parents and newcomers to our state; winning groundbreaking legislative victories; and using creative, effective tactics to hold those in power accountable for protecting children. 

And just since the beginning of last year, your donations have supported:

  • COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP: Over 60 new parents, tenants, health professionals, and others joined our advocacy coalitions for mutual support and to turn ideas into action

  • GRASSROOTS OUTREACH: knocked on 3,814 doors throughout RI to connect tenants, homeowners and landlords to resources for lead poisoning prevention 

  • WORKER SAFETY: lead safety training for 400+ landlords and workers in English and Spanish  

  • LEAD-SAFE HOMES: 5000+ rental units brought into compliance with lead safety requirements created and enforced thanks to our community organizing campaigns

  • ADVOCACY: submitted a first-of-its-kind civil rights complaint to the EPA demanding an end to local practices putting people of color at higher risk from lead in drinking water - resulting in an ongoing federal response and national news coverage

There is much more to be done to eliminate childhood lead poisoning. With your help in 2023, we will:

  • Welcome a new generation of parent and community activists to fight for environmental justice

  • Launch the next phase of our multilingual lead safety outreach campaign planned by parents and community members in Central Falls

  • Keep the pressure on city and state leaders to deliver lead-free drinking water for all, not just those who can afford to pay for lead pipe replacement

Thank you for taking action to protect children in your community!
