Newark Water Coalition's Community Resiliency Hub
Updated April 22, 2023
As our partner, the Newark Water Coalition, starts their project of building a community resiliency hub which connects people in Newark to healthy food grown, the Peoples Public Lab will simultaneously be supporting them through technical assistance with water treatment, soil testing, energy forecasting and disaster planning.
WATER SPACE: TESTING AND TREATING
Updated: April 22, 2023
How do we remove barriers to reliable water testing facilities? How can scientific equipment and tools be used to advance environmental and social justice initiatives at the grassroots and also create accessible tools and equipment? The Peoples Public Lab is exploring how to connect community science to established scientific methods of testing without the huge expenses. This takes the form of individual workshops for training on fundamental science information, fundraising to purchase some of the equipment for a public and open lab for folks to conduct their own tests, and building strategic relationships with labs and universities to access resources.
