http://www.sustainablefingerlakes.org/map/listing/coalition-to-protect-new-yorkWe envision a New York State where people have genuine governing authority to say NO to anything, such as fracking and related industrial activities, that will harm our health and welfare, our community, and the natural world it inhabits; and to say YES to that which we believe promotes the health and vibrancy of our land, our resources, and our selves. Stopping fracking and its infrastructure and related industrial activities is our primary initial battle and represents the many barriers we must overcome to achieve our vision. We are rural, urban, and suburban, and we live in Western, Central, and Southern Tier counties of New York State. We use public education, local ban laws, state law to make fracking a crime, and nonviolent creative action to foster our goals, which include Making Local Law.
