As we observe Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (October 19–25), we want to take a moment to celebrate an important milestone you may have missed: New Jersey’s Lead Service Line Disclosure bill (S1034/A2929) was signed into law! Thanks to the tireless efforts of advocates, lawmakers, and supporters like you, renters across the state now have the right to know if their homes are served by dangerous lead pipes. The legislation represents a significant step forward in protecting families, particularly children, from the long-term health effects of lead exposure. This victory marked the culmination of a three-year-long effort to fill a critical information gap and empower tenants with the tools to make safer, healthier choices for their families. We couldn’t have done it without you. Your voice, your advocacy, and your support made this happen. Whether you signed a petition, shared an article, liked a post, or simply stood with us, thank you. But our work is far from over. This new law is part of a larger mission: eliminating all lead service lines in New Jersey at a fair and equitable cost to ensure permanent, lead-free drinking water for all New Jerseyans. With your continued support, we can hold the state accountable, push for full implementation, and make sure no community is left behind. During Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, let’s celebrate the progress we’ve made and recommit to the road ahead.
Together, we’re building a healthier, more equitable New Jersey. One law, one home, and one child at a time. Thank you for being part of this victory. Let’s keep going! Peter Kasabach |
