Rally & Community Speak Out Against Fracking in Buffalo, NY

Start: Saturday, October 18, 201411:00 AM

On Saturday, October 18, we'll rally to tell Governor Cuomo that he mustn't frack with our future and instead invest in renewable energy in New York State. Along with the rally will be a community speak-out that welcomes the public to pick up the microphone and say a few words, or recite poetry or spoken word about the dangers of fracking (please prepare a 5-minute speech or performance.)

We will also have:
-Music from The Nickel City String Band, Alex Mead, Dave Harter, and more TBA
-Fun from the Buffalo Joywalkers and Linda Abrams
-Expert speakers, including Lynda Schneekloth of the Sierra Club Niagara Group and Rita Yelda of Food & Water Watch, and more TBA, discussing the growing connection between fracking and our health
-Tabling: pick up a lawn sign, sign the petition to ban fracking, and find out what we're up to in your community

We need you with us so we can stand together to send a clear message to Governor Cuomo: we demand a future powered by clean, renewable energy, not one that depends on dirty, polluting fossil fuels.

Cosponsors include Sierra Club Niagara Group, PUSH Buffalo, NYPIRG at Buffalo State, Food & Water Watch, New Yorkers Against Fracking, Citizen's Campaign for the Environment - Buffalo, Western NY Drilling Defense, and Protecting Our Water Rights (POWR).
