--------------------------------------------------------------------------On
July 28th, people from all over the country will converge on Washington, DC for
the nation's largest ever demonstration to end the practice of hydraulic
fracturing ("fracking"). Thousands will gather on the West Lawn of the Capitol
and ask the President and Congress to end all drilling that harms public health,
water and air.
And we'll ask our government to stop giving special
exemptions and subsidies to the oil and gas industry, and instead invest in
clean, renewable energy technologies! Visit http://www.stopthefrackattack.org/
The
Bus for Progress is headed to STOP THE FRACK ATTACK with seats for 25 people. We
hope you'll join us!
We've been in contact with the organizers of this
event, and have been offered parking nearby. We'll cover the bus with "stop
fracking" banners for all to see. This should allow our riders to visit the bus
throughout the day to rest, use the bathroom, and cool down in the air
conditioning.
In addition, we've also been given permission to ride in
the actual march that follows the rally!! Our passengers will have the choice to
march in front of the bus, ride inside, or stand on our unique roof
platform.
The rally begins at 2 PM with guests such as Josh Fox (producer
of Gasland), Bill McRibbon (head of 350.org) and
others speaking on stage. At 3:30, the march begins up to Franklin Square area.
At approx 5:30 PM we'll start to head home, or stop somewhere for dinner
together first (depending upon your preference).
We'll pick up folks from
the Monmouth Service Area (Mile 100) on the Garden State Parkway at 8 AM, and
the Jackson Outlet Mall (just off I-195 and CR-537) at 8:30 AM. We are asking
for a $45 donation from Exit 100, and $43 donation from Jackson. Seats are
filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Proceeds go to keep the Bus for
Progress rolling! To reserve your seat, visit http://www.busforprogress.org/events
The Bus for Progress is a super fun
and sociable way to travel! It has couches, seats and tables with a built in
cooler, full restroom, microwave and seat belts. Click here for photos - www.BusForProgress.org.
If you would like to join us
but do not have the financial means to do so, please send an email to
in...@BusForProgress.org. If you would like to make a donation to Sponsor a Rider
(even if you cannot attend yourself), you can donate at http://www.busforprogress.org/events
We are also accepting donations to
have several large anti-fracking banners printed and mounted on the sides of the
bus. They will be seen by hundreds on the highway and throughout Washington.
Donors will be given the opportunity to sign their banner so everyone knows
where it came from! Visit http://www.busforprogress.org/events to donate. Just $5 or $10 will help! We'll
also use the banners again for events in the future.
Join us to STOP THE
FRACK ATTACK – the out-of-control rush to drill that is putting oil and gas
industry profits over our health, our families, our property, our communities,
and our futures.
Invite friends and family! The more people we bring, the
bigger our statement! We hope to see you on board the Bus for
Progress!
