#LeadLadenVoices highlights stories of marginalized Environmental Justice Communities and takes place in Virginia localities that are known to be high risk for lead poisoning. Lead Laden Voices will stress the importance of a fully funded EPA towards protecting children from lead and other environmental hazards.  Recent EPA budget cuts have had a negative impact on the protection of public health and Environmental Justice communities in particular. The Lead Laden Voices of front-line community residents speak volumes to what the current administration has chosen to ignore.
