Liveable Arlington is a grassroots environmental advocacy organization in the Barnett shale city of Arlington, Texas. Arlington is an egregious example of “urban drilling” - where the city permits

multi-well fracking sites to extract methane/fossil gas right next to homes and daycares. Emissions from these sites accelerate climate breakdown, and also cause severe health issues for our frontline community.

Learn about our advocacy for intergenerational, climate and environmental justice, our past successes, and current challenges, and hear from impacted community members via a short film.
