Action for Delaware's Children Petition Action Alert! - Protect Delaware's Children From Lead Paint!

Support Senate Bill 9

Childhood lead poisoning has serious consequences for Delaware children. Overall, over one in fifty children in Delaware have elevated levels of lead in their blood before the age of two. Exposure to lead-based paint in older housing is the primary source of lead exposure for those children.

Sign this petition to help us show legislators you support their efforts to get rid of lead based paints!
