What has been Delores Green, Executive Director, Renew Environmental Public Health Advocates (REPHA) involvement in the lead water crisis in Milwaukee that would justify being on this panel discussion?
Who from the organization that brought the lead water crisis in Milwaukee to the forefront, Freshwater for Life Action Coalition (FLAC), was invited to this panel discussion?
Thank you.
