Keep Tap Water Safe

I may have been the 5000th protester, but I got to shake Josh Fox’s hand and thank him for keeping our tap water safe! For every person who made it to the Stop The Frack Attack! rally in Washington DC, many more were there in spirit. This movement is growing!

“This issue’s not going away,” said filmmaker Fox, flanked by reporters on the march.  

Five thousand protesters from all over the country, and even as far as Australia, had begun to arrive in Washington days earlier to lobby lawmakers. On Saturday, July 28th, they gathered in front of the US Capitol to demand a sane energy future, and an end to reliance on extreme fossil fuels. Protesters then flooded the streets chanting, “Ban Fracking Now!” as they delivered this message to The American Petroleum Institute:

       “Hey, Frackers, Get Off It! The People Over Profits!”
