The plume of smoke rising in the sky was a sign of immediate risk, highlighting dangers hiding in plain sight due to repeated industrial accidents at BioLab.
West emphasized the event as a wake-up call, revealing ongoing community risks posed by the BioLab facility that necessitate prioritizing people over profit.
As a consultant in community-building, West urged her neighbors via social media to stay put, while expressing frustrations about safety and accountability in their community.
In response to the incident, local advocate Shelly Thompson initiated a Change.org petition, amassing over 1,500 signatures demanding the permanent shutdown of the Bio Lab.
