THREE GREAT MOMENTS FROM OUR ATLANTA TRAINING

One of the most gripping speakers was Danielle Bailey-Lash, who has been battling brain cancer since 2010. She drew connections between her illness and exposure to the coal ash pollution dumped by Duke Energy's Belews Creek power plant in her North Carolina neighborhood. ….…

Danielle is a testament that people and communities who choose to speak out are powerful. On April 1, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality ordered Duke to totally excavate all remaining coal ash in the state, including the site in Danielle’s community of Belews Creek.


Thank you for your inspiration and dedication, Danielle!

Danielle was integral in planning for the final art installations in and around Walnut Cove. She participated in the Build Community Build workshops and was an avid advocate for the labyrinths in the Walnut Cove community. She was a bright light who helped keep us focused and adamant about the importance of our message.
