Erin Brockovich, along with attorneys and other experts, spoke at a town hall meeting in East Palestine, Ohio, warning residents of potential long-term health and environmental risks caused by chemicals released after a recent train derailment.
The event was attended by more than 2,000 people, with concerns raised about the safety of their town and the uncertainty of remaining there.
Despite assurances from federal and state officials that the area is safe, many residents expressed mistrust and a desire for more information.
Brockovich urged residents to fight for recognition, trust their instincts, and get tested for possible exposure to dangerous substances.
Legal teams have arrived in the area to discuss potential litigation, and lawsuits have already been filed.
The situation is not a quick fix and will be a long game, with health and environmental risks expected to remain for years to come.
