============================

Corporate polluters are fracking Pennsylvania’s fields, forests and communities – and using their profits to distort our democracy.

EQT — a multinational fracking corporation based in Pittsburgh — along with its PAC and its employees, have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars toward electing fracking-friendly politicians in Washington, D.C., and Harrisburg, as well as West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia.

On April 17, join us at a rally for corporate accountability outside of EQT’s annual shareholder meeting.

I’ll be there, and I hope you will join me.  

Here are the details:

What: Action to hold EQT accountable for its political spending
When: Wednesday, April 17, from 8:30 to 10 a.m.
Where: EQT corporate headquarters, Liberty Ave., between 6th and 7th Streets, in downtown Pittsburgh

View a map, let us know if you can make it, and help spread the word.

Thanks for all you do,
