OUR Events

We had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Rob Bresnahan’s staff, and we are truly grateful for their time and willingness to hear us out. 

We laid out everything: the buried toxic drums at the Fern Hill warehouse, its dangerous proximity to Acorn Hill Estates, the long list of DEP and OSHA violations, and the conflicting letter from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) that seems to ignore those serious issues.  We also made it clear that despite more than 200 confirmed cancer cases among former workers, not a single government agency has stepped in to help us except for the PA Dept of Health (PA DOH - Different from DHHS), who has offered to do a geographical study of cancer rates in the area. 

We brought up the ongoing silence from the Borough of Olyphant, even after multiple attempts to reach out to Borough Manager CJ Mustachio, and the concerning response from the Pennsylvania State Police, who claim they have no records at all tied to a facility that operated for more than 40 years.

We told them our goals:
- We want this officially recognized by the Commonwealth as a disaster, so that victims and families can finally access medical or burial assistance.
- And we want a memorial statue placed at or near the site, so what happened here is never forgotten.

Their team listened respectfully, took notes, and assured us they would personally brief Congressman Bresnahan on all we shared. While we don’t yet know what will come next, we’re hopeful this is a step forward, and we sincerely thank them for hearing our voices.

We’ll continue fighting for accountability, support, and recognition, because these lives matter, and this story deserves to be told. We’re not giving up. We’ll keep knocking on doors and telling the truth until someone finally answers.

I want to extend my deepest thanks to everyone who showed up for the town hall meeting. The turnout was absolutely incredible and a powerful reminder of how much this community cares. Your voices, questions, and presence made a real impact, and it’s clear we’re all united in seeking truth, accountability, and positive change.
