GLLEN Family Workgroup

Stay Informed!

Founded in 1970, the Ecology Center serves one purpose: protecting healthy people and a healthy planet. We believe that the central question of our time is how human beings are going to thrive in the world without destroying the earth's ability to sustain us. This can only be achieved as a strong movement. Sign up to receive emails about ways you can get involved, take actions and learn about important updates from the Ecology Center.

The Great Lakes Lead Elimination Network has been pushing for protective policies in the eight Great Lakes States, organizing communities to speak out to prevent lead exposure, and building power to end lead poisoning.

Join Us

We invite you to join our space and voice your ideas to end childhood lead poisoning around the Great Lakes.

This meeting space is available to help bring support and conversation around advocacy and policy strategies, learn from one another's experiences, celebrate lead education week, and so much more.

Date: Second Monday every month

Time: 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM EST.

2026 GLLEN Family Newsletter

Happy two-year anniversary of starting the Great Lakes Lead Elimination (GLLEN) Family Workgroup! We have over four organizations and over 10 families who attend the workgroup meetings. We feel it's important to provide a space for parents and family members whose loved ones have been impacted by lead poisoning and connect with your peers.

The Great Lakes Lead Elimination Network continues to add families. We invite you to join our space and voice your ideas to end childhood lead poisoning around the Great Lakes.
