This is the water at Frederick Douglass Mastery Charter, an elementary school in North Philly, in 2016. In 2019, a water fountain at the school had lead concentrations at 3,500 ppb, 350 times higher than the district limit of 10 ppbs (a limit that is still too high) 2/5 https://t.co/FNqn0lluoz |

.@HelenGymAtLarge has introduced new legislation that would require the School District to replace all water fountains with hydration stations by June 2025. Hydration stations filter out contaminants in tap water, effectively eradicating lead in the water supply 3/5 | 9 | 10876 | |

As the fires spread, workers couldn’t escape as the doors to the stairwells and exits were locked by management to stop the women from taking unauthorized breaks. Most victims died from burns, asphyxiation, or leaping from the windows. 2/6 https://t.co/0NCPHQrGac |
