STORY FROM THE FIELD

“We’ve spent a few days talking to people in Oak Harbor, the town that will be most directly affected by the plant closing down. It seems like everyone there knows a plant employee, whether it’s a friend, family member, or themselves. Many people expressed worries about the future of the town: they worried that Oak Harbor would be hit hard and become a ‘ghost town’. One man assuredly told me ‘without Davis-Besse, this town’s gonna die.'”

- Dan Szetela, Field Organizer
