Get the Lead Out
Join today to connect with a network of people and organizations striving to make New Jersey lead-free.
Get the Lead Out
Action Today for a Healthy Tomorrow
Lead disproportionately affects young children,
causing serious medical and behavioral issues into adulthood.
Low-income communities and/or communities of color are most at risk
due to systemic inequities. Fortunately, these issues are preventable when we target the sources of lead.
We can address this complex problem on a larger scale than any individual or organization can alone.
Working together as Lead-Free NJ, an inclusive and equitable collaborative focused on removing lead from New Jersey’s environment.
The time is now to demand action
and organize for statewide lead remediation in every home, childcare facility, school, and water system.
