How did so many Pennsylvania communities end up fracked? Is there any way out?
You're invited to meet Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter while she is in Pittsburgh talking about her new book Frackopoly. Community members who are impacted by fracking in the region will join her for a panel discussion.Frackopoly: The Battle for the Future of Energy and the Environment shines a fresh light on the influence the oil and gas industry has in politics today and chronicles the political power generated by an exciting grassroots movement that is fighting to ban fracking, keep fossil fuels in the ground and help take back our democracy.
6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (616 North Highland Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15206).
At this event, Wenonah will discuss 100 years of political influence-peddling and deregulation that have devastated communities around the country, and the groundswell of public support for a clean energy revolution. Frackopoly is essential reading for anyone interested in protecting our environment and ensuring a healthy and sustainable future for all of us.The Big Idea Bookstore will have copies of the book and also refreshments for sale, and Wenonah will sign books after the presentation and Community Member Panel.
