We told you a few weeks ago about our plan to attend the September 19 meeting of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and shut down this rubber stamping agency at a critical moment for our climate and the US fossil fuel export industry. In case you missed our planning call last week, here's an update with the news you need.

Wherever you are, sign here to call on FERC to stop all new fossil fuel permits.

Sept 19 is the Fall of FERC Sign Now to help us #UnFrackFERC

On our planning call last week, we talked about our spring Unfrack FERC Campaign and how we're building off our successes and escalating pressure on FERC this Fall! This past spring our coalition disrupted FERC's monthly meeting over 16 times – and you can see many examples and past actions in our blog.

But a lot has changed since those spring actions! In the last few weeks, three new Commissioners have taken seats at FERC and the D.C. Circuit Court has struck at the heart of FERC's broken permitting process. By vacating multiple fossil fuel permits — including a Williams pipeline in New Jersey, as well as the Rio Grande LNG, TX LNG, and Rio Bravo pipelines in Texas — The court found that FERC has failed to consider climate change analysis and clear violations of environmental justice. This is just what we’ve been telling FERC for years and all spring with the unFrack FERC campaign!

With grassroots movements escalating against fossil fuels and federal Courts finally validating our arguments and issuing real consequences for FERC's failures – is this the beginning of the Fall of FERC?

September 19 is the critical moment to stand up to FERC over all their past failures, and demand a permanent change in the way the federal government reviews, permits, or opposes fossil fuels – especially LNG exports.

Sign now if you agree and we’ll keep you in the loop about upcoming FERC actions you can take online.

Thanks,

PS - We’re also looking for dozens of people to come to Washington D.C. September 18-19, and for 30 of them to interrupt the monthly FERC commissioner meeting. If you're interested in that sort of in-person action, check out the blog post for more details or RSVP by September 7 to join us in DC.
