“Women’s and Children’s Health and Environmental Justice,” hosted by UUJO: Unitarian Universalist Justice Ohio

Sunday, January 23, 5pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Appalachian women are being forced to carry an unreasonable and dangerous burden for the environmental recklessness of oil and gas producing businesses, legal regulators, and legislators. Pollutants from the fracking industry affect women and children in unique and serious ways. Current State and Federal regulations designed to protect the public from environmental harm are either ineffective or are not enforced.

Join Dr. Peggy Ann Berry, PhD, RN, COHN-S, CLE, PLNC, FAAOHN, on January 23 to learn about the health risks to Appalachian women that are being ignored by regional leaders charged with protecting and preserving women’s health. Dr. Berry has been a leader in identifying and providing solutions for women and children in Appalachia who are in the crossfire of business-driven pollution, and Appalachia’s dirty economic reality.
