Across the country hydraulic fracturing has endangered the health of countless children. Air emissions related to fracking can lead to asthma, diabetes, cognitive deficits, premature birth and more.

We, the undersigned, stand with the mothers of Erie Colorado in demanding that you immediately block all drilling operations at the Canyon Creek well pad near local elementary schools.
