Girl drinking water
Tell Congress to get lead out of our drinking water

Our country’s water infrastructure is rapidly deteriorating, putting the health of our children at serious risk. Any amount of lead exposure is harmful to the brain and nervous systems and can potentially cause lifelong health impacts like learning and hearing disabilities. Yet there are still as many as 12.8 million lead service lines in place across the country, and a disproportionate amount of lead-contaminated water is found in low-income communities and communities of color. Please urge Congress to fix our water infrastructure and ensure clean drinking water for all.
