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.
