Strategy Sessions, Local: Jefferson, OH

Dear Neighbors:

Here is an opportunity to learn how to become more organized in our attempts to inform our communities about the negative and dangerous effects of fracking. 

There will be a strategy session at the Jefferson Community Center, 11 East Jefferson Street, Jefferson, Ohio 44047 from 6 - 9 PM on Wednesday, May 16th.  I know this is short notice so I hope you can attend.

The attached message from Danny Berchenko has a link for you to use to sign up for the Jefferson meeting and obtain more information.

Friends,

The fracking industry is fanning out across the state, buying up leases and applying for more permits to drill. But everywhere they go, citizens and grassroots groups are mobilizing to stop them.

In May, I’ll be leading strategy sessions in communities resisting fracking across the state to help build and strengthen the statewide movement against fracking in Ohio.

These sessions will include discussions on the impacts of fracking in our state, training on how to design strategic actions that move local campaigns forward, and we’ll talk more about our plans for the largest action against fracking in our country’s history to take place in Columbus this June 17th

These strategy sessions will be great opportunities for us to come together as a movement and gain new action organizing skills in the fight to stop fracking in Ohio.

Here is the schedule of the strategy sessions in May:

May 12th—Cincinnati, OH  (2-5pm)

May 13th—Athens, OH  (2-5pm)

May 14th—Youngstown, OH  (6-9pm)

May 15th—Canton, OH  (6-9pm)

May 16th—Ashtabula, OH  (6-9pm)

May 17th—Cleveland, OH  (6-9pm)

May 18th—Mansfield, OH  (6-9pm)

May 19th—Oberlin, OH  (2-5pm)

May 20th—Columbus, OH  (2-5pm)

Sign up here for the session nearest to you, and we’ll send you updates on pertinent details such as specific venue locations, directions, parking, agenda, and more.

I hope to see you next month, and in action this Summer,

--Danny
