Hey folks!
Last Tuesday, we had 60 people come on a conference call from six states to talk about regional organizing to fight fracking in our communities. We started an e-mail list for people who are interested in Marcellus/Utica shale regional coordinating that you can join here: www.shalegasdefense.blogspot.com
We will be having a more specific call again TONIGHT @ 9pm to talk about a strategy for events, trainings, and actions leading up to September 6,7 when we're all going to march on the Marcellus Shale Coalition's industry conference in Philadelphia to end the use of fracking. We decided last week that we needed to have a smaller call tonight to flesh out details about a campaign/strategy before we made a proposal to the larger movement, such as a call to action and endorsements.
We hope to develop a timeline such as: outreach in June, trainings in July, actions in August, march in September
Conference Dial-in Number: (641) 715-3200
Participant Access Code: 441634#
Proposed Agenda
(15 minutes) Introductions - Name, Organization, Location, Activity, Plans for May through September.
(10 minutes)- What are our needs? Wants?
- Outreach
- Online Presence
- Money
- Other
Some upcoming dates:
May 25 - Rally in Morgantown, WV (noon tomorrow at the court house)
June 4 - Marcellus Shale Sportsmen Conference Johnstown, PA (Register here http://www.sportsmenalliance.org/ )
June 7 - Lobby day and action in Harrisburg, PA (Register here http://www.pacleanwatercampaign.org/ )

Sorry I missed the call tonight. I just got this message, so I wasn't sure there was going to be a call earlier today and didn't see anything on the Google Group. I was doing a Gasland screening anyway. Please fill me in. Thanks! Karen Feridun, Berks Gas Truth

Dear All:
I had hoped to join the call last night but was unable to.
No Frack NY Coalition is a relatively new group that has formed to
organize a mass rally in NYC against fracking. We have set the date
for June 25 (permit applied for, but not yet confirmed, for Foley
Square). We are working madly to generate interest and turnout.
Besides a statewide permanent ban on fracking and fracking byproducts,
our demands are for development and implementation of renewable, green
energy sources, and the support of local agriculture - this is not
only good idea, but to show our support for upstate economies that
are impacted.
6/25 is also the date of the Statewide Day of Action that Food and
Water Watch is promoting.
Foley Square is the site of one of NYC's first public fresh water
supply reservoirs, the "Collect Pond," which eventually had to be
closed and filled in due to pollution and disease. Let us humans learn
from our past mistakes!
We've had 3 planning meetings so far, and have representatives of 6 or
7 groups working together towards this rally. There's a lot to do to
get this together. We need groups to endorse or co-sponsor us, to help
with outreach, and especially we need people to come. For more
information and to contact us:

Good wishes to all,
