Campaign to Reduce Lead Exposure and Asthma

About

About us: Taking action on health and environmental health disparities

The NAACP, DC Asthma Coalition, and over 30 organizations have united to launch two critical campaigns in Washington D.C. The first aims to reduce lead exposure and support children with asthma in Wards 5, 7, and 8 by advocating for government action. The second provides Healthier Homes Guidelines to educate residents on identifying and minimizing household asthma triggers. Both initiatives strive to create a safer, healthier environment for all D.C. residents, especially those living with asthma, by promoting collaboration, education, and practical solutions to improve housing conditions and reduce health disparities.

Activities

The Campaign to Reduce Lead Exposure and Asthma stands out as a unique and powerful initiative, bringing together a diverse coalition of over 30 organizations to advocate for the health and well-being of Washington D.C. residents. With a focus on addressing lead exposure and childhood asthma in underserved communities, this campaign has already made significant strides through its collaborative efforts. From shaping new legislation and conducting public listening sessions to raising awareness through media interviews and educational webinars, the campaign has demonstrated its commitment to creating lasting change. By partnering with key stakeholders, including DC City Council members, government agencies, and community organizations, the Campaign to Reduce Lead Exposure and Asthma is uniquely positioned to drive meaningful improvements in public health and environmental justice for all Washingtonians.
