YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn Feb. 3, 2023, a Norfolk-Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, forever changing the lives of the town’s nearly 5,000 residents. One year later, the people of East Palestine continue to contend with chemical leaks and the effects of contamination on their health and livelihoods. Despite a media frenzy and bluster from politicians in both parties, East Palestine residents have largely been abandoned to their fate. While Norfolk-Southern reported billions of dollars in earnings last year, families in East Palestine are still struggling to relocate, find new work, and seek treatment for sudden and severe illness.
To commemorate the anniversary of the East Palestine disaster, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez begins Season 7 of Working People with testimony from five East Palestine residents: Christa, Chris Albright, Jessica Albright, Stella Gamble, and Daren Gamble.
