When Tiesha Jones learned that her daughter Dakota had elevated lead levels in her blood, she decided to do something about it. Jones went to court and sued the New York City Housing Authority, eventually winning the case with $57 million dollars.
PIX11's @monicamoralestv spoke with Tiesha about Dakota’s Law, an initiative to help parents learn about the hazards of lead poisoning and what they can do to prevent it.

We taxpayers pay trillions of dollars in taxes for these NYCHA problems to NOT be an issue, yet here we are. Where is your money going? Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists we need to worry about, not someone from other countries, but right here on Capitol Hill and holding office. Your oppression is their profession

Maybe because there's no money in fighting the lead that's whizzing by your children's heads in the street..
