Reimagine Beaver County
When I moved to Beaver County 10 years ago, fracking was just beginning and my work shifted in response. SW PA has chosen to pursue industries that perpetuate damaging extractive systems. There are climate conscious innovative alternatives, and I am committed to creating economic options that also honor people and the planet.

Action Alert: Support Funding Clean Air in Allegheny County!
Reach out to your Allegheny County Council member and urge them to VOTE YES on the ordinance to increase air pollution permit fees to support our air quality programs. This essential fee adjustment is NOT taxpayer-funded and it requires polluting industries to cover the costs of managing air quality permits that help enforce reducing pollution. The air program provides critical resources to monitor and manage pollution, without placing a burden on residents.
Let’s ensure council members know how crucial this funding is for our health and community. Reach out by calling 412-350-6490 , visiting this link https://www.alleghenycounty.us/Government/Departments-and-Offices/County-Council/Council-Members
