What: Don’t Frack California
Where: The Capitol Lawn, Sacramento, CA
When: Saturday, March 15th, 2014, 1pm

The Plan: Our plan so far is to get as many voices as we can to Sacramento to make it loud and clear to Governor Brown and his administration that Californians want an end to fracking in our state. We’ll be hearing from voices from all over the state who are witnessing fracking in their own communities and organizing against it. Our goal, is to show the overwhelming number of Californians who will take the long trek to Sacramento to make it clear that climate leader’s don’t frack.

We WON Round 2! Today 2/28/14, the City of LA Unanimously voted to place a Moratorium on Fracking for the City. Now the City District Attorney has to draft the language. With the supervision of Council Men Paul Koretz and Mike Bonin. Special thanks to these two environmental HERO’s for the People. Truly! They deserve a lot of praise. They are on top of the proper language. Now it is in their hands. I implicitly trust them to finalize this process. It goes to Review two more times with a final vote on the language. The ball is moving in the right direction.

Today, LA Basically voted to Ban Fracking! Thank You to all of you who called and used your voice to let them know how you feel about this. The Council listened to you! Including Mitchell Englander! Praise due! I am so grateful.

Feel free to send cards of thanks: http://lacity.org/government/ElectedOfficialOffices/CityCouncil/CouncilDirectory/index.htm

Special thanks to Brenna Norton, Alexandra Nagy and Walker Foley from the LA chapter of Food and Water Watch. They did a great job organizing around this.

Thanks to my friends at MoveOn.Org for sending out my alerts in a timely manner! You all Rock!

Special thanks to residents Gary Gless, Paul Ferrazi, and Khin Khin Gyi from Citizen’s Coalition for a Safe Community (CCFSC) and to Geologist and activist Tom Williams for their tireless work to ensure that all regulatory agencies are held to the standard that we all deserve. They are not paid and deserve our praise and acknowledgement for all their time, research and knowledge. For donations to CCFSC: https://sites.google.com/site/ccfascorg/

NEXT STEPS:
The LA City Ban will put pressure on the County. We are not stopping at the City Level.

• California State BAN ON FRACKING
Special Praise and acknowledgement for Senator Holly Mitchell, Representing the 26th District. Her Ban Fracking California bill was killed on the floor last year. She is introducing a new bill SB1132 this year. To attempt to get a Fracking Ban passed for the State.
