Tell Governor Brown to use his executive authority to put a moratorium on fracking!

Governor Brown, a self-proclaimed ‘climate change leader,’ supports fracking in California. He cozies up to the oil industry, that claims fracking is safe. But we know this is false — just ask the Latino residents of Kern County, the most fracked place in all of California. The folks who live there are starting to experience headaches, nosebleeds, rare cancers, and respiratory diseases associated with oil drilling and extraction.

That's why we’re calling on Governor Brown to drop the doublespeak. You can’t be a climate change leader and also support fracking. If New York can ban fracking, where skeptics said it couldn’t be done, then we can do it in California too!

Tell Governor Brown: Use your executive authority to put a moratorium on fracking!

The Message

Here's the message to Governor Brown:

New York’s Governor Cuomo has announced he’s banning fracking, the highly toxic process of injecting water and dangerous chemicals into the ground in order to extract oil and gas. Fracking operations emit massive amounts of methane pollution, which drive global climate change. You can’t be a climate change leader and also support fracking.

Allowing fracking to continue in our state only endorses continued harm to California’s most vulnerable residents through the placement of hazardous fracking operations near Latinos and other low-income communities of color. Unlike what the oil industry may otherwise claim, families living near fracking sites are already experiencing serious and extensive health problems, including headaches, rare cancers, and respiratory diseases associated with oil drilling and extraction.

Governor Brown: use your executive authority to place a moratorium on fracking now. If New York can do it, we can do it in California too!
