Are you down with the Global Frackdown? 

Later this month, thousands of fracktivists around the world will come together for the Global Frackdown 2 to call for a ban on fracking. Are you in? Check out this video from our friend Josh Fox, writer and director of the Gasland movies. After you watch, find and join an event near you, or plan your own!  

Last year the Global Frackdown was a huge success, with actions from 
France to South Africa, Argentina to Australia, and all across the 
United States. In fact, it was so successful that an industry white paper 
cited the Frackdown as an example of our increasingly powerful 
movement to ban fracking.¹ This year will be bigger, louder and more powerful. Are you in? 

The oil and gas industry will stop at nothing to keep the public in the 
dark about the ugly truths of fracking. We've seen families forced to 
sign gag orders in exchange for clean drinking water, the EPA abandoning
 investigations of fracking contamination sites in the face of industry 
pressure, and our elected officials putting corporate profits over the 
rights of their constituents.

Fight back. Join the Global Frackdown 2 on Saturday, October 19.

Despite what we're up against, grassroots opposition to fracking is growing. Across the globe, the list of victories keeps growing. From the hundreds camping out in protest in Balcolme, England; to bans in France and Bulgaria; moratoria in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands; and communities in the U.S., Argentina, Canada and more passing municipal resolutions — we're turning the tide. In order to keep winning, we need to show our elected officials around the globe that they work for us, not the oil and gas industry.
