Read Elizabeth Manapsal’s Faculty Debate Gas Drilling (Cornell Sun) for a glimpse into the responses to natural gas drilling coming from Cornell University. The Ruckus Society (www.ruckus.org) – one of America’s most respected organizations for the development of grassroots activism – is coming to lead a weekend workshop for folks involved with natural gas issues in Central New York. This workshop will provide us with training in media outreach; coalition building; direct action tactics; and community organizing. Application Deadline: November 16th, 2009 If you want to strengthen your media outreach and communication skills, create more effective strategies for presenting your concerns, learn tactics for direct action, and work on building coalitions – both with other activists and in your home community – then please join us! This is an amazing opportunity to hone the skills we need to protect our land, water, and rights. Important information: All participants must be committed to attending all three days of the workshop. Childcare and housing assistance (for folks coming from far away) will be available. Contact us if you can help out with either! If you are interested in participating, please email: ethan@destratify.com to get an application form – fill it out asap, and return it to ethan@destratify.com or mail to: Shaleshock, 115 The Commons, Ithaca, NY 14850.

Lawn signs with the same directive will be available to people who live in highly trafficked areas. Similar publicity for our cause is being planned but these efforts require money. Please send donations to Social Ventures, 124 Westfield Drive, Ithaca, NY 14850. Please list “Shaleshock radio ads/lawn signs” in the memo line on your check.
