Founded in 2019, we are a leading voice for the families, and communities, directly affected by childhood lead poisoning in Syracuse.
We are in the forefront of the movement for inclusion of our many parent-leaders in the decision making and funding priorities around lead poisoning prevention in Onondaga County.
Our Mission
We are a conduit for parents to speak out. We are a conduit for families, and their communities, affected by childhood lead poisoning to voice their concerns, questions, and ideas so smarter decisions get made in the fight against childhood lead poisoning.
We provide each other with mutual support and the love that is needed when entire families are traumatized by the tragedy of lead poisoning.
We are organizing a greater leadership role for parents in this struggle. We seek to build a family-led coalition that will set the priorities for our public health needs, especially around ending childhood lead poisoning.
“The smartest decisions for public health and eliminating environmental
dangers are made by listening to and including those who deal with the
consequences every day.
