Death by Democracy - Episode 3 - w/ Sherry Fleming & Susan Catterall by GrassRoot Ohio

Carolyn Harding with Sherry Fleming and Susan Catterall, water protectors of the Michindoh Aquifer.
According to epa.gov “In 2007, the city of Bryan, Ohio applied to U.S. EPA to designate the Michindoh Aquifer as a "sole-source" aquifer. That designation means the aquifer is the only source of drinking water for people in a nine-county area that includes parts of three states. Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

Sherry Fleming is the chairperson for the Williams County Alliance, a grassroots 501c3 citizen group, promoting a sustainable future through education and citizen action. The Alliance has been involved with issues such as factory farms, tire pyrolysis, fracking and water privatization. Sherry graduated from OSU with a degree in animal science production. She and her husband Ted live on a small homestead in Williams County. Sherry also serves on the board of the Ohio Community Rights Network and is coordinator for the Bryan Food Co-op.

Susan Kipfer Catterall was born in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and currently resides in Hamilton, Indiana. She is married with five adult children. Susan is a direct support professional employed by Full Potential, Inc., and she’s the DSP of her two adult sons on the autism spectrum. Advocating for her disabled children led her to activism. She is an organizer for United Activist of Fort Wayne. She volunteers at the local animal shelter, Literacy for Companionship, and serves as the treasurer for Feline Fixers. Susan serves as the precinct chair of her township with the democratic party in Steuben County, and is an active member in The Green Party of northeast Indiana. Sherry lives over the aquifer in Indiana, and in 2018 she created the Michindoh Water Warriors FB page after she became aware there was an effort to sell water from the aquifer to the Toledo area. Susan’s worked to raise the awareness of the people and electeds in Indiana.
