Help Out Sludge Safety Project

We can stop sludge from poisoning our children and contaminating our water.

Organizers are working hard in Boone, Raleigh, Kanawha, Fayette and Mingo counties and in Huntington, but we have limited resources and time. Please help. Please fight. Please elevate all our voices.

Call Patricia in Mingo County at (304) 235-2618 for an update on the latest ways you can help. Or, keep up to date with the Sludge Safety Project at www.sludgesafety.org.

As always, we are in need of donations to keep our work going, work that includes organizing locally in the coalfields to say NO! to sludged water. Mail checks to:

OVEC
P.O. Box 6753
Huntington, WV 25773-6753

Please note "for Sludge Safety Project" on the check.
