John,

Donald Trump is unleashing a fracking free-for-all on public lands, putting national treasures like Yosemite and Rocky Mountain national parks in danger of being destroyed.

We've known that fracking threatens our water and land, but we're now starting to learn how it also threatens animal habitats and could drive some wildlife to extinction.1

Food & Water Action is ramping up our national campaign to ban fracking on public lands, and we're fighting on several fronts. Will you chip in to stop public lands from being destroyed by fracking?

Yes, I'll donate to help protect our treasured public lands.

The dangers of hydraulic fracturing – fracking – for oil and gas are well documented. We've seen the videos of water coming out of household faucets catching fire due to gas leaking into the water supply. The toxic gases released by fracking into the air cause coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing, and the risk of premature birth and infant mortality skyrocket near fracking sites.2

Animal habitats are destroyed by fracking wells. A single well can disrupt the wildlife in the surrounding 30 acres, and the noise and traffic from a well causes the bird populations to plummet.3

But none of this matters to Trump, who is opening up protected lands to fracking nationwide. The Trump administration's most recent plan is to open up nearly a million acres of federal land to drilling and fracking for oil and gas – including land that is at the foot of Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon.4

We're working on multiple fronts to help ban fracking on public lands. We helped hold up the Williams Northeast Supply Enhancement fracked gas pipeline in New Jersey. We're working to pass legislation in states such as California and Florida to prevent new fracking wells. And we're demanding that every presidential candidate agrees to a national ban on fracking.

Food & Water Action has been working for years to ban fracking on federal lands. We got the first bill to ban fracking introduced in 2015. We can defeat Trump's attempts now.

Will you donate to help build our campaign to ban fracking on public lands?
