Friends-
On June 17th Ohio will be at the epicenter of another earthquake - this
time, a people-powered quake that will shake the oil and gas industry. The
earthquake is an action called Don't Frack Ohio, and we're planning to take
over the Ohio statehouse and pass a people's bill to protect our state from
the oil and gas industry.
Already over 1000 people are signed up to be there from states all across
the country, and we'll be joined by Bill McKibben of 350.org and Josh Fox,
the director of Gasland. Gov. Kasich and the State Assembly just passed one
of the worst fracking bills in the country, and we need to show them that
there will consequences for selling out our state.
The oil and gas industry put millions of dollars into the pockets of
politicians to make this bill happen. We don't have that kind of money, so
we need to use people power to show them our state is not for sale.
The action is on the 17th, but there are big plans for the 14th-16th as
well. That's when we'll be meeting up for a series of trainings and strategy
sessions to plan and build the movement we need to stop the fracking
industry in Ohio. We'll be getting trainings in non-violent direct action,
media strategy and skills, and how to mobilize our communities to win this
fight.
We're really hoping you can join us for this exciting event. With the drills
on their way to turn Ohio into the fracking capital of the midwest, time is
of the essence, and this is a perfect opportunity to tell Gov. Kasich that
we won't accept his style of sellouts any longer.
