Is Amazon Fueling A Water Crisis in Oregon?

Description

Are Amazon data centers fueling a water contamination crisis in Eastern Oregon

Rolling Stone recently published a major investigative piece asking that question. But Amazon is far from the only major corporation polluting the drinking water of Morrow County residents, and this crisis has been going on for decades.

Oregon Rural Action has been organizing in and advocating for communities in Eastern Oregon for years.  They were heavily quoted in that Rolling Stone article, and they have been a strong voice on this, and other environmental justice issues.

So I’m delighted to be joined by Kaleb Lay, ORA’s research and policy director, and Zaira Sanchez, director of community organizing.
