S3 Ep 38: Lead in my Cup w/ Jeremy Orr - a podcast by Hip Hop Caucus

For too long, people with political capital have known about water contamination and lead exposure and did nothing to fix these issues for communities of color. In many cases, elected officials made decisions to keep lead pipes in the ground for Black and Brown communities while acting swiftly to provide clean water to white communities.







Jeremy Orr is a senior attorney at Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), focusing on drinking water and source water protection issues, and working to ensure that everyone has access to safe, sufficient, and affordable drinking water. He sits down with Rev Yearwood to break down the impact of lead exposure and how we can organize locally to fight for environmental justice.
