You Made the Global Frackdown a Huge Success, Now Keep the Momentum Going

Pollute Our Water to Sell Cheap Gas to China?

Speak Out to Ban the Export of Fracked Gas

Dear Supporter,

The Global Frackdown was a huge success, with thousands of people in dozens of countries all over the world taking action to ban fracking.

Now, keep the momentum going by asking your representative to ban the export of fracked gas.


When we launched the Global Frackdown with some of our partners, two of our primary goals were to help cut through the propaganda put out by the oil and gas industry, and to build a broad-based call for a ban on fracking. I think it was a huge success, and I'm absolutely inspired by the actions that happened on five continents last Saturday. But, I also know our work is far from over.

We don't think any fracking should happen, but what makes this whole proposition even worse is that oil and gas corporations want to frack our land and water here in the U.S. to export cheap natural gas overseas for a huge profit. Join me in telling our members of Congress that we don't want to sacrifice our good health and clean water for the gains of the fracking industry.

There are two bills in Congress right now that could help stop the export of gas produced by fracking. If we limit fracking companies from selling gas overseas, we'll help take away the market for fracking, while also protecting our health and our water from this hazardous process. Tell your representative to co-sponsor these bills and help fight fracking today.

We know that injecting millions of gallons of water, sand and deadly chemicals into the ground to extract natural gas through fracking is not how we're going to move toward a clean energy future.

Help us send a strong anti-fracking message to Washington:
