Senator Cory Booker: “Across the poorest parts of our country people are facing appalling realities that would shock the consciousness of many Americans. Diseases commonly associated with developing countries, such as hookworm and dengue fever, are sprouting right here in the U.S. — and disproportionately impacting our most underserved communities. This is an injustice that has been largely hidden from most Americans and highlights a gross inequality, where large swaths of this country are regularly exposed to raw sewage and contaminated drinking water.”
