Pennsylvanians get their drinking water from our state's more than 83,000 miles of waterways, acres of lakes, reservoirs and wetlands, and a natural system of underground aquifers. Unfortunately, many of these vital water sources have been contaminated or are at risk of contamination. Despite their importance, drinking water sources receive no special protection from pollution and polluting activities in Pennsylvania! Without action, our drinking water sources are in danger.

Rally at the Capitol at noon!

Pennsylvania’s state legislature has still taken NO ACTION to protect residents from all the problems Marcellus Shale gas drilling is causing in our state. Contaminated drinking water, pollution in our rivers, hazardous air pollution, safety problems, and destruction of our state forests are just some of the problems.

Come to Harrisburg and SPEAK OUT!  Let our legislators know that we need them to take action NOW.

You probably heard about the controversy surrounding the movie GASLAND’s Oscar nomination. The hydrofracking industry was so threatened by the film that they organized opposition to the film’s selection by the Academy. Find out why they were threatened! Join us on April 14 for a free screening and discussion of the film in South Philadelphia at Cha Cha’razzi, 1918 S. Bancroft St.

GASLAND is about Josh Fox, a Pennsylvania native, who received a letter in the mail offering him a deal to buy the mineral right underneath his families home in Northeast Pennsylvania. Fox set off with a camera to find out whether or not he should accept the deal, and he discovered just how dangerous this extractive industry could be for the land and public health of all of us.
