There is no safe level of lead for a child. It lowers IQs, damages developing brains, and the harm doesn’t come back. Millions of homes, schools, and child care centers across the country still get their drinking water through lead pipes — decades after we knew better — and whether yours gets replaced too often depends on whether the family can pay for the part on their side of the property line. That’s how poisoned water ends up concentrated in the neighborhoods that can least afford a fix. Resistbot is asking your state lawmakers, and everyone running for those seats, to fund full replacement of every lead service line at no cost to homeowners, with schools and child care centers first, on a hard deadline.
