Despite afternoon rain, at least 8,000 dedicated citizens, including about 60 from Sacramento and Davis combined, called on Governor Jerry Brown to ban the practice of hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” across our state on Saturday, February 7, 2015, at a march in Brown’s home town, Oakland. The parallel issue of crude-by-rail—which is how the vast majority of fracked oil and gas is transported across the country—was addressed repeatedly by organizers and participants as well.

Climate Leaders Don’t Frack

Governor Brown received 100,000 letters against fracking in CA, delivered in person.

Friends,

Yesterday, with our friends at Californians Against Fracking, I helped deliver over 100,000 comments from Californians across the state demanding that Governor Brown and the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) ban fracking in California now.
