Worth Knowing! Sharing! __________ Today is the Global Frackdown Join in this Global Day of Action by Telling the United Nations Fracking is Not Sustainable! Join the Global Frackdown Virtually Today Take Action to Remove Fracking from the Sustainable Energy for All Initiative. Dear Jacqueline, Today, at more than 300 events in 32 countries on 6 continents and 30 states, thousands of people are joining together for the Global Frackdown to fight back against big oil and gas and call on their local officials to ban fracking. Join in the action virtually by telling the United Nations that fracking is not a sustainable energy solution! While people are calling for bans on fracking in their local communities, we can all do our part today by sending a message to the United Nations asking them to block fracking in their Sustainable Energy for All plan. This week we delivered a letter to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon calling for no fracking in the Sustainable Energy for All Initiative at the United Nations. It was signed by 250 groups in 39 countries. Ban Ki-moon has come out strongly against climate change, so its just unacceptable that his Sustainable Energy for All Initiative allows countries to justify fracking for natural gas as a sustainable energy strategy. Add your name to the letter to Ban Ki-moon to block fracking as a sustainable energy solution. When Food & Water Watch initiated the Global Frackdown three years ago, we weren’t sure what to expect or what the response would be. But when the Global Frackdown was cited months later in an industry analysis of the anti-fracking movement as an example of our collaboration and growing activity, we knew we were on to something. The power of our movement is growing and we’re just getting started. More and more people are fighting back against an industry that spends millions of dollars on slick PR campaigns and high-profile lobbying efforts in order to buy the ability to frack our communities with as little government oversight as possible, all while destroying our air, water, resources and our climate. Join the Global Frackdown today by taking action to remove fracking from the United Nations Sustainable Energy for All initiative. Thank you for taking action, Wenonah Hauter Executive Director Food & Water Watch act(at)fwwatch(dot)org P.S. Theres still time to join Global Frackdown community events today: Search for an event near you! __________ Peace, Jackie
