CNYCF: Voices Rising
Friday | September 6 | 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

“Voices Rising: Syracuse’s Fight Against Lead Poisoning” is a compelling documentary highlighting the transformative power of community engagement through participatory budgeting to address the injustice of childhood lead poisoning in Syracuse. This film captures the resilience and determination of Syracuse residents as they took collective action to allocate $150,000 to a project that will move the community toward a safer future. While recognizing the need for substantial additional resources, the documentary emphasizes giving the community a voice in shaping their future and driving impactful change.

Join the Central New York Community Foundation for the documentary premiere of “Voices Rising: Syracuse’s Fight Against Lead Poisoning”. The premiere will be shown outside and under the stars on the Everson Museum of Art Plaza.

  • The full event is from 6-9 PM, with the documentary premiere scheduled for 8:15 PM.
  • The first 300 people to register will receive a $10 credit towards the purchase of food from various local food trucks
  • Visit with members of the LeadSafeCNY Coalition and learn more how you can get the lead out
