Discussing remedies for lead in New Jersey schools’ drinking water
It’s been 10 years since United Way set an ambitious goal to make the invisible visible. Hidden within every community, every age group, and every ethnicity were a growing number of workers earning above the poverty line, but less than what’s needed to survive. In a state perceived as wealthy, United Way placed a spotlight on these workers, calling them ALICE® (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). Today with some 900,000 ALICE households in New Jersey – nearly triple the number in poverty – it’s a moral and economic imperative that we find innovative solutions that stem this growth in financial instability. NJ Spotlight and United Ways of New Jersey teamed up on October 29, 2018 to bring together our state’s top lawmakers and thought leaders to explore how New Jersey can be a national model for change in reversing this trend.

The Delaware River Watershed spans four states, contains vital ecological resources, is home to more than eight million residents and provides drinking water to millions more. As the region faces stress from pollution, overuse and a changing global climate, recent moves in Washington D.C. to change federal regulations are also complicating the picture; questions abound on both the quantity and quality of the area’s water supplies. In this recording of our keynote presentation, Carol Collier — Senior Advisor for Watershed Management and Policy, The Academy of Natural Sciences, Drexel University and Former Executive Director of the Delaware River Basin Commission — lays out the challenges and issues surrounding the Watershed today.
