ART & ACTION: We Shall Not Be Moved Project, Poster, and Book

In inner city neighborhoods where SAJE members live, chipping, peeling paint in older housing exposes young children to lead poisoning that can cause permanent brain damage. Frustrated with the inability of health and housing agencies to address the problem, SAJE joined forces with two other community organizations - Esperanza Community Housing Corporation and St. John's Well Child and Family Center - to create Healthy Homes, an economic justice solution that protects children's health, improves housing, enforces tenants rights, and generates new policies.

ST. JOHN'S WELL CHILD AND FAMILY CENTER

St. John's Well Child Center provides free testing and follow-up health care services for children who are at risk of lead-poisoning and other home-based health hazards. St. John's also provides in-clinic Healthy Homes education and sponsors a Health Education Theater Project in neighborhood schools.

ESPERANZA COMMUNITY HEALTH

Going door-to-door, Esperanza's health promoters conduct health and housing surveys and provide health and housing information. Health promoters refer children to St. John's for testing and health care, and refer tenants to SAJE's organizers.
