Sunday, March 27, 5pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Join us for Part 2 of our conversation about the deleterious and disproportionate affect high levels of lead in water and pipes has on poor and non-white people in Ohio.

University Circle in Cleveland is home to Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, and the Cleveland Clinic, all cutting-edge medical facilities. However, in the area surrounding University Circle an estimated 30 to 50 percent of children under the age of 6 suffer from lead poisoning. Thousands of families live in unsafe housing and send their children to schools with unsafe water.

The urgency of diagnosing and treating lead poisoning cannot be overstated. If left untreated, high levels of lead in children can cause brain damage, developmental delays, and life-long disabilities.

On March 27, we will continue our conversation as “Connecting the Dots: People, Planet, Power” focuses on “Race, Equity and the Lead Crisis.”

Our March conversation will feature:

• Crystal M.C. Davis, Policy Director of Alliance for the Great Lakes

• Robin Brown, Concerned Citizens Organized Against Lead
