[March 23 Webinar] [2]

Dear John,

ALL PEOPLE DESERVE ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER. As part of the UN 2023
Water Conference [3], we are highlighting the need to keep plastic—and
its toxic impacts—out of our water systems. PLASTICS ARE A HEALTH THREAT
AT EVERY STAGE OF THEIR EXISTENCE and are a critical environmental
injustice issue disproportionately harming rural, low-income, and
communities of color on the front lines of plastic production and disposal.
That’s why PLASTIC IS NOT THE SOLUTION FOR REPLACING THE TOXIC LEAD PIPES
that currently deliver water into the homes of 22 million people in the
United States. With $15 billion designated for lead pipe replacement over
the next 5 years, THIS IS THE TIME TO INFLUENCE HOW THE FEDERAL AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENT USE THESE FUNDS to provide toxic-free drinking water without
plastic [4].

During our March 23 webinar, we will discuss the health hazards of
single-use plastic bottles and plastic pipes such as those made from
polyvinyl chloride (PVC). We’ll recommend OPTIONS FOR SAFE, NON-PLASTIC
DRINKING WATER SOLUTIONS DURING LEAD PIPE REPLACEMENT as well as TIPS AND
RESOURCES TO ENSURE COMMUNITY WATER SOURCES REMAIN FREE OF POLLUTANTS.
These solutions are applicable not only for lead-impacted communities, but
also the growing number of communities impacted by PFAs, microplastics, and
other chemicals that commonly contaminate water resources. TUNE IN TO LEARN
WAYS TO KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE WITH FILTERED, TOXIC-FREE WATER.

Joining us will be BRANDI WILLIAMS, Good Trouble Department Civil and Human
Rights & Fields Campaign Director, Hip Hop Caucus [6]; SHARON LAVIGNE,
Founder of Rise St. James [7] and 2021 Recipient of the Goldman
Environmental Prize; JUDITH ENCK, President of Beyond Plastics [8] and
former Regional Administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
DR. TERRENCE COLLINS, Professor of Green Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon
University [9]; and ERICA CIRINO, Plastic Pollution Coalition
Communications Manager and author of _Thicker Than Water: The Quest for
Solutions to the Plastic Crisis [10]_. I look forward to moderating the
webinar.
