CONNECTING THE DOTS FROM WALL STREET TO WATER

We are standing in solidarity with our friends from Occupy Wall Street.

While the Oil & Gas Industry makes record profits, and pays minimal taxes, they threaten our clean water and health.

WE VALUE CLEAN WATER & GREEN ENERGY OVER CORPORATE GREED!

On November 21, 2011, the DRBC plans to issue fracking regulations giving the green light to frack in the Delaware River Basin, drinking water source to 15 million Americans: NYC, Philadelphia, NY, PA, NJ, DE.
