YOUR FOOD & WATER WATCH AT WORK ACTION SHOTS!
Organizers Alexa Moore and Emily Tucker drew a crowd at February’s “Environment Day at the Legislature” at the New Mexico State Capitol in Santa Fe. FEATURED VICTORY Together, we successfully passed a ban on CO2 fracking in New York State!
It was a wonderful day of tabling, sharing information about the urgent need to ban factory farms in New Mexico, and meeting and learning from
fellow New Mexico activists! The day also included a vibrant rally for climate action in the capitol rotunda.
Last fall, a company called “Southern Tier CO2 to Clean Energy Solutions” announced a proposal to drill and frack in New York using carbon dioxide (CO2). This absurd proposal came almost a decade after New York historically led the nation by banning high-volume hydraulic fracking. Southern Tier was planning to skirt the existing ban by using an experimental and dangerous method of shale gas extraction that poses many of the same threats to our water, health, and climate. Because of you, Food & Water Watch and our allies responded quickly, made lots of noise, and won! As of this writing, we’re urging the Governor to sign this ban into law. Thank you for fighting for a fossil-free future!
New York State Senator Lea Webb (pictured in the center) joined us at a rally, lobby day, and press event in the New York State Capitol in Albany. She sponsored and championed this successful ban on CO2 fracking.
