A toxic train derailment turned the focus of the world to the tiny town of East Palestine, Ohio. Tonight we'll talk to Timothea Deeter, an East Palestine resident and Mahoning Valley DSA member about how mutual aid can transcend political boundaries and what her community needs moving forward. We'll also zoom out and look at the larger environmental degradation of Ohio and neighboring states. We're joined live tonight by Andrew Woomer, the advocacy Coordinator for the Southwestern Pennsylvania office of the Clean Air Council. Andrew is from Pittsburgh and was in East Palestine earlier today dropping off air purifiers. We'll talk to him about that and his work to monitor and organize around petrochemical and oil and gas issues across Pennsylvania. We'll also hear from documentary filmmaker David Ruck about his film The Erie Situation on toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie.
