Shaul aims to educate the community about the hidden dangers of lead exposure, particularly in areas near heavy industry, to prevent harmful effects on children. They plan to develop a curriculum in collaboration with community partners and test its effectiveness in nearby impacted areas. The initiative seeks to empower historically disenfranchised communities to protect their health by adopting lead safety practices, increasing lead testing for children to prevent permanent brain and nerve damage, and promoting political activism around this critical environmental justice issue.
