Ashlyn is the founder of Health Over Wealth Benson and a co-organizer of the movement to stop a proposed secondary aluminum smelter in Benson, Arizona. The aluminum facility would emit tons of pollutants each year and use huge amounts of groundwater, which would threaten the health of residents and the fragile San Pedro River ecosystem. Listen to Ashlyn’s story to hear how she got involved in this issue and how you can help. Since publishing this episode, Ashlyn’s nonprofit has launched a fundraising campaign to secure legal counsel; click here to donate https://givebutter.com/N6Nz3qFor more check out these online resources:https://nobensonaluminumplant.org/https://www.protectbensonaz.org/‘No Benson Aluminum Plant’ Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/671730632534091Health Over Wealth Benson on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/healthoverwealthbensonAshlyn’s TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@nicegirlfrnd—A video version of this episode is available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@uwildburro.
