There are Too Many Flints
powerful piece by HRC. Shows the depth of her understanding and commitment to a long simmering issue that has not gotten much play until the recent disaster in Flint.
Just the kind of president we need.
I’m not new to this fight. As first lady, I worked with the EPA to bring attention to the link between air pollution and child asthma. In the Senate, I made this a central issue, fighting for more support for lead paint and soil remediation in New York and across the country, pushing the EPA to establish indoor air quality standards for schools, and working across the aisle to call for a national program tracking the health effects of pollution. At the State Department, I took the fight for environmental justice worldwide with the Clean Cookstoves Initiative.
