Tell Allegheny County Officials: Ban Fracking Now!

Fracking activity in Allegheny County is increasing to a fever pitch as greedy oil and gas interests aim to squeeze every last dollar they can out of the ground. Now, a state-funded study has shown that children living near fracking sites are at a higher risk for severe asthma attacks and childhood cancer.

Sign the petition and tell county officials to protect our children, not Big Oil & Gas, and ban fracking in Allegheny County!

Nothing short of a full ban on fracking in Allegheny County will truly protect our health & safety. The County Executive and County Council have the power to implement an immediate ban.

Petition to Allegheny County Officials:

The 2023 PA Department of Health study made it clear that nothing short of a full ban on fracking will protect our health and safety. Without a doubt, fracking increases risks of childhood cancer and severe asthma attacks. Ban fracking in Allegheny County now!
