You and I both know that together, we can win these fights — because we've done it before. This month, we're celebrating 10 years since the historic fracking ban in New York. So now, we’re doubling down on our efforts to end fracking everywhere. We won’t stop until every community is safe from fracking and fossil fuels stay where they belong — in the ground. Food & Water Watch organizers and volunteers are working hard in communities across the country to expand protections at the state level and ensure that we don’t take one step backward. But this fight doesn’t come without opposition. Trump and his cronies want to open up every possible acre of land to more oil and gas exploitation. This is why we need you with us to hold the line against increased efforts to drill and frack — while continuing to make progress moving towards a renewable energy future. With you in the fight, we’re confident in our time-tested strategy to organize and WIN at the state level to stop dirty power plants, pipelines, and new oil and gas drilling. For instance, in the heavily fracked state of Pennsylvania, we’ve already passed over 36 protective zoning ordinances against fracking (including one local ban!) and are working on even more across the state in the next year! Any gift you make during our 48-hour match challenge will be put to use right away to: – Power local organizing tactics to block new fossil fuel projects before they start
– Counter oil and gas industry lobbyists at the state and local level
– Cover legal fees to challenge polluters in court
– Pass climate-saving policies through state legislatures
