Dear TEMPLE OWLS!
There are a series of very important upcoming events to stop dirty gas drilling (fracking) and I cordially invite you to join me to protect our water, air, and human health.
This whole thing is happening on
WEDNESDAY,SEPTEMBER 7th and it is called
SHALE GAS OUTRAGE
Consists of the following:
NOON – 2PM Rally featuring Gasland director Josh Fox, musicians and speakers from Philadelphia, on Arch St., between Broad and 13th Streets; In front of the Pennsylvania Convention Center… RSVP on Facebook or at www.shalegasoutrage.org
Following that a…
2:00 - 3:00 PM March through Center City…
and ending with an…
5:30 - 6:30 PM Interfaith Ceremony: Blessing of the Watersat Penn Treaty Park - 1199 N. Delaware Ave. Philadelphia 19125
But out all three events, your attendance at the RALLY at NOON is the MOST IMPORTANT!
Why: Maximizing the sheer numbers attending this rally on September 7th will show a broad-based popular movement that will not tolerate contamination of our air, water, and earth by dirty drilling, or the corruption of our politicians by industry money. We will demand that not one more family be poisoned by fracking and shale gas extraction.
This demonstration is in response to the Marcellus Shale Coalition’s conference called “Shale Gas Insight” in Philadelphia on Sept. 7th and 8th. CEOs from major fracking companies will be plotting to expand their poisonous operations in PA, NY, OH, MD, WV, VA, and NJ. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett and former governors Tom Ridge and Ed Rendell will be speaking in support of the industry. Dubbed “Shale Gas Insight,” this is not only a key trade show for the industry, but also a brazen expression of its political muscle.
…
I, your Temple friend, plan to invite my teachers and take off from classes to attend the rally and march…
WILL YOU? Also take off work or class to join this very important action to protect our three basic necessities of life from harm and intoxication, our water, air and human health.
Please forward this message to your friends, inviting them to also attend!
