RALLY & MARCH TO BAN HYDROFRACKING!
RALLY LOCATION: Lake Front Park, Cooperstown, NY
Following the Rally, we will March through Cooperstown to the County Courthouse.
At 6pm the County Board is meeting in the courthouse to hear our concerns.
Hydrofracking is the method which has turned traditional gas drilling into an extremely toxic & dangerous pastime.
On July 7th, we turned out in force (100+ people) and overwhelmed the County Board Meeting. Let’s do it again! We will show the County Board & the world that we won’t take this lying down. We must fight to defend our homes and families.
It’s Our World, Let’s Take Care Of It!
No Drill, No Spill!
United, we stand. Divided, we’re fracked!
No Fracking Way!
