Global Frackdown Rally

The Global Frackdown will unite people on five continents in over 100 events on September 22 to call for a ban on fracking in their communities, and to advocate for the development of clean, sustainable energy solutions. Initiated by Food & Water Watch, over 150 consumer, environmental and public health organizations including CREDO Action, Environment America, Democracy for America, Friends of the Earth and 350.org are taking part in the Global Frackdown.


Long Island may seem removed from the threat of gas drilling, but fracking's wounds would be felt deeply here. Long Island's water, air and food are at risk from the toxic pollution, radon contamination, and other impacts of this dangerous gas drilling method. And that's why we're fighting back with the Global Frackdown! Join us for a Global Frackdown rally on Saturday, September 22nd in Rockville Centre.
