Jack, sign the petition: Our health and environment are at risk – ban fracking immediately.

SIGN THE PETITION
For years the oil and gas industry has widely promoted the lie that fracking is “safe,” yet the evidence proves the opposite. Fracking leads to increased water waste, earthquakes, direct impacts to our health–including increases of leukemia in children–and contributes to our ever-warming planet just like other dirty fossil fuels.

Fracking is more expensive, dirtier, and more dangerous than clean, renewable energy. Fracking is a key contributor to our climate emergency, and it is destroying our communities–disproportionately impacting communities of color–our health, and our environment.

And it’s depleting America’s groundwater. Fracking wells have increased their water usage sevenfold since 2011 and have used up nearly 1.5 trillion gallons of water. We are already facing a groundwater crisis and threats to our drinking water supplies. Fracking only continues to exacerbate that.

Sign the petition: Ban fracking now!

Previously, Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced the Fracking Ban Act that would ban fracking nationwide by 2025 and immediately prevent federal permits from being issued for new fracking, new pipelines, new natural gas or oil export terminals, expanded fracking, and other oil and gas infrastructure.

We’re calling on Congress to reintroduce and pass the Fracking Ban Act–for our health and for the well-being of the planet.

Sign the petition to Congress: Ban fracking now!

Thanks for all you do,
