Coffee Break with Joanne Kilgour, Ohio River Valley Institute

From an Announcement by Ryan Clover, Halt the Harm Network, March 4, 2021

Join in a network Coffee Break conversation with Joanne Kilgour Esq., the executive director of the Ohio River Valley Institute.

Meet Joanne, and learn more about a study they’ve just released that shows almost no job growth in fracking counties, despite gas production boom. If you’d like to meet Joanne, discuss the study, and get questions answered, please join in the event!

JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania, – A new Ohio River Valley Institute report titled, “Appalachia’s Natural Gas Counties: Contributing more to the U.S. economy and getting less in return” quantifies the decade-long failure of the natural gas boom in the Marcellus and Utica fields to deliver growth in jobs, income, and population to the 22 Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia counties that produce more than 90% of the region’s natural gas.

About Coffee Break — Coffee Break is a weekly live-stream discussion with researchers, leaders, community organizers, filmmakers, and artists involved in Halt the Harm Network, which provides a directory and support to leaders in the fight against oil & gas.

Good regulations or a full ban on fracking needed to “halt the harm”

Fractured: Fracking and Personal Pollution — A webinar with Environmental Health News about their report on fracking chemicals and children’s health

From Ryan Clover, Halt the Harm Network, February 27, 2021

I wanted to make sure you heard about this before Monday, so sending this out on the weekend. Kristina Marusic, a reporter with Environmental Health News is dropping a major story about fracking and children’s health that is two years in the making.

In 2019, Environmental Health Sciences, a nonpartisan news and science organization, tested the air, water and urine of several families living in and around fracking operations in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The results of this groundbreaking study, being released on Monday, March 1, are breathtaking.

At 1:00 PM she’ll be giving a presentation along with EHN director Douglas Fischer to share the report. Click here to RSVP for the webinar.​

Do you or a loved one live near fracking operations? Do you know what’s in the air and water, and what may be migrating into your body – or the body of your children?

Join EHS director Douglas Fischer, reporter Kristina Marusic for a brief presentation and discussion on how EHS conducted the study, what the organization found, what to do next, and why we need more biomonitoring like this.
