[Climate Justice] Announcement for Gasland II Screening

[Chelsea Polevy]

To the Director of the Hampshire College Climate Justice League,



My name is Chelsea and I am an intern with Environment Massachusetts, the
statewide environmental advocacy organization. We are currently working on
a campaign to ban fracking here in MA. As you may or may not know, a recent
U.S. Geological Survey report identified gas deposits in the Pioneer Valley
area, and we are concerned that drilling companies may attempt to frack
here in the future.

Next Thursday, November 14, we are hosting a screening of Gasland II.
Gasland II is an exciting and informative documentary that details the
dangers of fracking. I'm trying to spread the word about this event, and I
was hoping you'd be interested in forwarding this e-flyer (displayed below)
along to your email list.



Thank you for your support!



Sincerely,

Chelsea Polevy

Intern at Environment Massachusetts

Fracking -- the controversial method of gas drilling -- has polluted
drinking water and made families sick across the country. Over 82,000
fracking wells have been drilled since 2005, in states from Pennsylvania to
Colorado.



Gas deposits were recently identified in the Pioneer Valley, which means
that fracking could come to our region.



*Gasland 2*, the new documentary from Josh Fox, shows the damage that
fracking has done to communities across the country, and describes how
powerful oil and gas corporations have used their political muscle to evade
environmental and public health regulations.



After the movie, we'll discuss what we can do to keep fracking out of
Western Massachusetts. With fracking exempt from so many of the nation's
key environmental laws, it's up to us to make sure that our communities are
protected.
