Sign the Fracking Petition

Unless the New York State Senate passes a ban on risky new gas drilling ASAP, permits for “hydro-fracking” could be issued in New York as soon as this August. 

If enough New Yorkers speak out, the State Senate could pass a hydro-fracking moratorium next week. We have to push them to pass this now, or drillers will begin blasting chemicals into the ground that could poison our drinking water. 

The Working Families Party is sending a letter to every single single State Senator, signed by thousands of New Yorkers, insisting that they pass a moratorium while they’re still in Albany. 

Read and sign the letter here:

    Now that I see the date I think I may be too late, and I’m not from NY state, but I signed anyway

    This extraction process has destroyed ground water in every location where it has been used. The costs far outweigh the benefits gained from the small amount of gas that can be extracted

    Please let us unite and sign each other’s petitions! Fracking has become a global threat. Thanks!
