Fracking moratorium rally in Annapolis

March 13, 2013
Annapolis, Maryland

To win protections against the dangers of fracking in our state, one thing is certain: we need you. It's our passion, creativity and "people power" versus the gas industry's money, slick ads and high-priced lobbyists. The fracking moratorium bill (SB 601/HB 1274) came so close to passing-- a testament to the strong and growing movement of Marylanders demanding protections.  Now, we need to thank our champions -- and hold accountable those who voted "no" on protecting Marylanders.

So, if you come to Annapolis one day this legislative session, it should be Wednesday, March 13th. That's the day that -- with your help -- we're going to pull off the biggest fracking rally Annapolis has ever seen.

What: Fracking Moratorium Rally in Annapolis -- the biggest yet

When: Wednesday, March 13th, 2013, 10:30 a.m. - noon

Where: Lawyer’s Mall, across from the MD State House

 (100 State Circle, Annapolis MD)

Marylanders deserve legal protections against drilling now, while the state investigates the risks to our air, water and climate. We can't afford the toxic, undrinkable tap water, rural towns overrun with industrial truck traffic, and supercharged climate emissions already linked to fracking activity in other states.

On March 13th, we'll stand tall as a movement in Annapolis, and demand protections against the dangers of fracking in our state.
