[Green] Ohio Health Project agenda item for 6/22 Sunday Zoom meeting

[Virginia McNeil]

Hello Dawn,

I hope this email finds you and yours healthy and safe.  I've enjoyed
getting the scoop on the Green Sanctuary's "doins" this past year. I regret
I've not been more in attendance.  I'd like to request an item for
discussion regarding a project sponsored by FACT Ohio (
https://www.factohio.org/).  We are an interfaith group concerned with the
health effects of the fracking industry in Ohio. The Southwest Pennsylvania
Environmental Health Project has been collaborating agency as they are
establishing a health registry of exposed populations in PA and would like
to see it expanded in Ohio and West Virginia. We are independent of
SwPaEHP, and currently grant funded.  I believe I shared a bit about our
group and the registry project at a previous FUUSM-GS meeting a few years
ago.

After developing an ambitious fair weather schedule of registration events
across the State, we put our plans on hold with pandemic precautions.  Our
group is currently making adaptations, using online technology, to move
forward with the Ohio Health Registry in this era of pandemic. We are
especially interested in the Southwestern Ohio area as it is in a line of
fire for fracking contamination. I would like to share our update news with
the GS committee and determine if this is something that we can support and
participate in. Several Ohio ministers are open to sharing their
"church-space" for our new "techway" of doing things to minimize exposure
while collecting health data. We are also considering the inclusion of a
Story Sharing component to our registration to allow people to share their
experiences and perceptions of fracking events in their lives.

I would enjoy the opportunity to update the GS committee and discuss the
possibility of cooperating in an online registry for the Marietta
community. Please let me know if I can have the floor for about 15 minutes
on the Sunday Zoom call.  I look forward to virtually being with everyone
again.

Sincerely.
Ginnie McNeil
