Announcing the Southwest Ohio Regional

CALL TO ACTION Meeting to Stop Fracking

September 10, 2011

(10:00 - 2:00)

Antioch University Midwest in Yellow Springs Ohio

Concerned citizens and organizations in SW Ohio are gathering for a very important regional CALL TO ACTION.  Technology has recently been developed that is allowing energy companies to drill in a new way.  This new drilling method is known as horizontal hydraulic fracturing or "fracking." You've undoubtedly heard about fracking in the media--it is reported to be contaminating drinking water, rivers, air and land all around the country.  

Now gas and oil companies have their sights on Ohio.  Some companies are fracking in Ohio right now!

The grassroots anti-fracking movement is growing every day in Ohio AND around the world to stop fracking from poisoning our water, air and land.  There are LOCAL strategies that communities can use to protect themselves.  Please join us to learn more about this very important issue and to learn:

1.  How to educate neighbors in order to keep as many people as possible from signing leases

2.  How to work with local elected leaders to implement ordinances or resolutions to say "NO" to fracking

3.  How to work with local elected leaders to take back local control over zoning through legal challenges

Attendees will gain the knowledge base to take action in their communities.  

Together we can protect our Ohio communities.  We need you and your voice to make the Ohio anti-fracking movement stronger!

 

Please note:  A continental breakfast will be provided
