Dear Friend, |
There's no safe level of lead exposure, yet millions of families across the United States remain exposed to toxic lead in their drinking water. |
Exposure to lead can cause irreversible developmental harm in children and reproductive impairment in adults. |
SEE HOW MANY LEAD PIPES ARE IN YOUR STATE |
|
Earthjustice has worked for years alongside our partners and clients to strengthen protections around lead contamination. In 2024, our work helped compel the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to mandate the replacement of most lead service water lines in the country within a decade. Congress then set aside billions of dollars to help pay for this widely popular investment. |
Now, the Trump administration and some members of Congress are trying to gut these basic health and safety protections, threatening the drinking water of an estimated 22 million people across the country. |
Together we can defend the protections we have fought for. |
|
Sincerely,
The Team at Earthjustice |
