The Childhood Lead Action Project will host a Conference this fall: Getting to Zero: Eliminating Childhood Lead Poisoning in RI.
The Conference, which coincides with National Lead Poisoning Prevention
Week, will bring together all sectors of the community to share
strategies for eliminating lead poisoning through collaboration,
education and public policy change. Parents, lead inspectors,
contractors, lawyers, social workers, public health officials, health
providers, advocates and elected officials will engage in workshops and
panel discussions on best practices for lead poisoning prevention.
Getting to Zero
will help participants tackle critical issues through morning workshops
and an afternoon panel discussion. The conference will also include an
inspirational 16th anniversary luncheon, featuring Lois Gibbs,
Community Leader of Love Canal, NY and currently the Executive Director
of the Center for Health, Environment, and Justice (CHEJ), an
organization that assisted over 10,000 grassroots groups nationwide
with technical assistance.
