INTERVIEW:
Halee Hadfield- Halee is 26 years old and a Hardin County native. She comes from a manufacturing background and is a former union member. Now she's fighting for better working conditions, accountability, and transparency from the company. She's been at BlueOval SK since February of 2024.
Greg Williams is 30, yankee born, but Kentucky raised. He's been family-oriented his entire life and focused on building, joining or connecting with communities of all kinds and walks of life, and in the last 6 years that has turned into heavy advocacy for organizing the South.
