UVP Community Night: Voices Rising

September 6, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

- Free

“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.
