Philly Protest: Stand up to the dirty fracking industry Sept.20 !
Joanne O'Neill
Shale Gas Outrage 2012
On September 20th, stand up to the dirty fracking industry!
Marcellus
Shale gas extraction has already hurt workers and residents, poisoning air,
water and land in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, while threatening New
York and New Jersey. Using a process they know to be inherently unsafe, the oil
and gas industry is playing fast and loose with our essential resources and
risking public health. Join us September 20th at a major protest, hosted by
Protecting Our Waters, to protect workers and residents, air and water,
farm
s and foodsheds, current and future human
health.
On September 20th, the fracking industry elite will descend
upon Philadelphia for their national conference. Industry will be rubbing elbows
with some of our elected officials, their sights set on expanding toxic fracking
throughout our region. These are irresponsible, greedy corporations that
withhold the science and hire lawyers to navigate the loopholes in legislation.
They even incorporate themselves in Delaware to avoid taxes! Their greenwashing
doesn't fool anyone: we've seen the damage, and even with a few new regulations,
the damage is escalating out of control.
We won't tolerate the corruption
of our politicians by industry money. We demand that not one more family be
poisoned by drilling and fracking. Every phase of shale gas extraction,
processing and distribution puts us all at risk. We must stop fracking: keep
every moratorium and ban we've won in place, and expand the Protection Zones
(like the Delaware River) outward.
Sign
up below to join us at the Thursday, September 20th rally as we stand up for
a clean environment, healthy communities and true renewable energy
solutions.
