We paddled all 104 miles of the Huron River Water Trail in 2020. Now we hope to use this adventure to raise awareness of the Huron River in SE Michigan.

@RepDebDingell @debrashore @EPA Thank you @RepDebDingell for getting involved. Please keep up the pressure on #Tribar and the companies they supply, as this is not their first offense. Many of us who love the river and live along it are livid about this company's irresponsibiliy.

@ClimatoDan My honor and responsibility!

(1/2) Sitting in front of #Tribar Manufacturing in my kayak today, educating the neighbors about what this company has been up to. I've received lots of honks, smiles, car revs, and support ✊💧❤️

[Meredith Nickerson @huron100]

(2/2) The public is upset, aware, and heartsick for our local river. Looking for strong leadership and sustainable, eco-friendly choices from Tribar's partners, like @ford @toyotausa @fiat @chrysler @generalmotors

@JeffMIrwin Thanks, Jeff. I will be following your updates.

[Meredith Nickerson @huron100]

@JeffMIrwin Thank you for your ongoing efforts to keep MI waters stay safe. Having said that, what are your plans regarding the spill of hexavalent chromium by #tribar in the Huron River? I'll be protesting in front of the plant tomorrow. #huronriver #huron100

[Meredith Nickerson @huron100]

@Chrysler I feel the same way when I can load up my life jackets, paddles, and kayak or canoe for a trip on my local river. The problem is, I can't do that now because of a hexavalent chromium leak from your supplier, #tribar mfg. What steps is Chrysler taking to address this? #huronriver

[Meredith Nickerson @huron100]

@RepWalberg in 2020, I canoed all 104 navigable miles of the Huron River over the course of 5 days. I have seen its beauty from Proud Lake to Lake Erie. Now I ask you - how will you address the chromium spill from #tribar manufacturing, that impact so many in SE MI? #huronriver

[Meredith Nickerson @huron100]

@RepDebDingell Cool, but presently I cannot kayak, canoe, swim in, or even touch the Huron River, which runs through our district. Please do what you can to hold #tribar accountable for poisoning one of our greatest natural resources in SE MI!

[Meredith Nickerson @huron100]

@GovWhitmer Thank you for your ongoing efforts to keep MI waters stay safe. Having said that, what are your plans regarding the spill of hexavalent chromium by #tribar in the Huron River? I'll be protesting in front of the plant tomorrow. #huronriver #huron100
