Valley Clean Air Now (VCAN), Women for a Healthy Environment, New Voices for Reproductive Justice
I was called to do this work in late 2019. I was hired as a Community Health Worker with Women for a Healthy Environment to focus on Asthma and Air Quality. It wasn’t until I began this work that I became more aware of the impacts of environmental exposure on the health and well-being of the communities I serve. Even in my own experience, it took me working from home to start really noticing the impacts it had on my household. Besides being someone who always wanted to see people and communities thriving spiritually, mentally and physically, I believe I was called to do this work where I can be a catalyst.

“What goes up must come down, and it’s been coming down in the city of Clairton for over 121 years. US Steel gets fines, but the people in Clairton don’t get anything from their fines.”

Take Action Please!Close the Railway Safety Act Loopholes!
You probably heard that Norfolk Southern broke no laws in connection with the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment. That’s the problem: corporate greed and regulatory failure have once again put the public at risk. But now we have an opportunity to fix this.
Because of heightened awareness of the catastrophic outcomes resulting from train derailments, we finally have a chance to win major safety improvements in the U.S. rail industry.
