From Eliza: “Thank you so much for reading, coming out, and engaging in the conversation around Stacey Haney’s powerful story. All of these actions mean a great deal to me, and even more to the Amity families who are still struggling to move on with their lives. To have their story heard has become its own kind of validation after feeling silenced for so long.
Since the book’s publication, Pennsylvania’s Attorney General, Josh Shapiro, has launched an investigation into the abuses recounted in the book. This fall, I’m doing some traveling back to these embattled communities and others, in order to make sure these stories reach the people who have lived them. Attached please find a tour schedule, as well as reviews of the book so far.
Many readers have asked me how they might help. There is quite a lot you can actually do. Energy distribution and consumption happen on a local level. From renewable energy portfolios to municipal composting to support from micro-grids, cities and states have a lot of say over what types of energy their citizens produce and consume. I hope Stacey’s fight encourages others to take an active interest in their local energy systems and to say no to those who will sicken their communities.”
