Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition
The Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition (OVEC) was established in 1987 with the mission to halt a proposed toxic waste dump incinerator near Huntington, WV, which they successfully achieved. Over the years, OVEC advocated for environmental and social justice causes in the region, relying on organized voices and empowered communities to drive positive change.
After 34 years of dedicated service, OVEC made the decision to close its doors in November 2021, leaving behind a legacy of community activism and impactful campaigns. Their work emphasized the importance of protecting both the people and environment of West Virginia and the surrounding areas, showcasing how a small organization like OVEC could make a significant impact on the region.
