Fight Fracking and join us on January 17th!

rally in harrisburg!

The Pennsylvania Legislature is returning from their winter recess on January 17th. As you may recall, they ended 2011 with an attempt to pass legislation (SB 1100 & HB 1950) that would take away all municipalities’ zoning power regarding natural gas operations and give it over to the state. The ability to control zoning is what allows residents and municipal leaders to determine what is best for their communities. Many towns may want to say no to fracking near schools or playgrounds – HB 1950 would hijack that decision from our towns and cities.

HB 1950 must be defeated in order to protect towns from fracking. We are going to Harrisburg to welcome back our state legislators on their first day of work this year and stop this state power grab! Come on out!

Join us on January 17th at 11am in the Capitol Rotunda in Harrisburg to welcome the Legislature back and deliver the message that they must protect our health, water, air, and communities by opposing legislation that allows state takeover of municipal rights.

We hope you are able to join us and look forward to seeing you there. If you plan on attending please RSVP to Steve.

If you can’t join us in person, support the effort by emailing and calling your legislators’ Harrisburg office on January 17th and telling them to oppose any effort to weaken or strip municipality power. If you don’t know who your legislators are or you need their contact information click here.
