While we scramble to also reverse the EPA's dereliction of regulatory duty during the struggle to slow and stop the spread of COVID19, the fossil fuel extraction industry is operating throughout communities, without oversight of safety and waste management or other potential violations, without abiding to social distancing guidelines, without respect for the anxiety societies are already feeling whilst they protect their families from a global pandemic, etc...
The continuation of these noisy, polluting, non-life-sustaining, for-profit construction projects must stop for the duration of this pandemic.
The granting of permits while the public is sheltering-in-place, allowing for little to no community input must be stopped.
This shameless opportunism taking advantage of a sheltering society with no oversight is intolerable.
Please sign and spread this document with urgency.
