Ban Fracking in the Delaware River Basin!

YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING.....

Staff at the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) are drafting plans to allow fracking in the critically important Delaware watershed, which provides drinking water for over 15 million people.
Four governors — Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — and the president have a voting representative on the DRBC. Six years ago, communities around the Delaware watershed came together to keep fracking out of the region. Now, we need to fight again.
Sign below to tell your governor that there is NO safe way to frack!
