STOP THE FRACK ATTACK: National Day of Action in Washington, DC ~ July 28, 2012
From California to New York, from North Dakota to Texas, people across the country are converging on the U.S. Capitol to tell Congress, the President and the world to end the rush to drill and STOP THE FRACK ATTACK.
For more information and list of endorsing organizations and members of the citizen-based advisory council, please visit www.stopthefrackattack.org
Join us in calling upon Congress and the President to stand with communities who want to protect their land, their health, their water, and their environment.
Instead of pushing for the increased use of oil and gas, elected officials and public agencies must insist that the industry stop dirty and dangerous drilling and PUT COMMUNITIES FIRST.
As a first step, they must close loopholes in environmental laws – laws that every other industry must follow.
Join us on the U.S. Capitol Grounds on July 28th to demand greater government responsibility and corporate accountability for harm that existing oil and gas development causes.
