1/ Meet Tracey Hall Ovitt. It appears she's an employee of ABB Ltd. @ABBgroupnews
Ovitt seems to spend most of her waking hours posting in private pro-confederate Fb groups & harassing anti-racists in NC. Here she is speaking at an Alamance County Commissioners meeting in 2019.

2/ Tracey Hall Ovitt has gone through a series of fake names on Fb. Most recently, she appears to be posting as LYNN SMITH.
She's also on twitter as @/tsparks15818868 and @/h_ovitt . I highly suggest blocking these accounts.

3/One of Ovitt's fake Fb accounts is "Tracey Sparks". Sparks created a group called Angels Protecting Southern Heritage and History in July '20.
Woody Weaver describes the purpose of the Fb group and thanks Cuz = Ovitt. He signs w/UCCV VALS.
VALS = Virginia League of the South

4/ The "Angels" admin/mod list includes Woody Weaver, who frequently flags in Pittsboro under confederate & League of the South symbols (black X). The LoS is a white nationalist hate group that marched w/Nazis in Charlottesville in 2017. @ABBgroupnews

5/ Woody Weaver claims that Tracey Ovitt's "Angels" group falls under UCCV, which he founded w/the help of hate group LoS member Jessica Reavis (see cover pic).
Woody is mentioned in this article. It's hard to disentangle UCCV from LoS. @ABBgroupnews https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020/01/14/league-south-officer-convicted-gun-possession-demonstration

6/ As part of Woody Weaver's UCCV consortium, Ovitt's "Angels" group is therefore allied with hate group League of the South. We can see Lynn Smith (=Tracey Ovitt) "LIKE" Woody's post of the LoS flag.
The UCCV platform is the racist slogan All L---- M-----. @ABBgroupnews

7/ Woody credits "Cuz" for this graphic. Note the LoS belt buckle.
Woody frequently refers to Sparks/Smith as "Cuz" or "Cusin". Lynn Smith also refers to herself in the 3rd person: "cuzin".
(Note: Tracey Sparks worked at Cuzz's Tavern.)

8/ How does Tracey Ovitt = Lynn Smith have time to do her job at ABB Ltd given the frequency & volume of her posts. Do her co-workers know she "LIKES" racist posts, harasses anti-racists, and affiliates with a hate group? (permission obtained to share screenshots) @ABBgroupnews
9/Tracey Ovitt, addressing the Alamance County Commissioners in 2019, said she lives in Winston-Salem but works locally. @ABBgroupnews has a facility in Mebane. Her actions harm local anti-racists and reflect poorly on her company, even if she's not using her real name.

12/Like many companies, @ABBgroupnews claims to value diversity and inclusion. Yet, it would *appear* they have a pro-confederate employee affiliated with a white nationalist hate group working as their Operations Leadership Specialist.

13/ ABB Ltd - as you expand into Mebane and Orange County you have a responsibility to your local community/employees. You need to publicly denounce white supremacy in general, but also tend to the racism in your own backyard. @ABBgroupnews https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article232472202.html
