Protest to Ban Fracking Ahead of June 12 State Meeting in Culver City

Over 100 concerned residents from across the Los Angeles are planning to hold a protest at Culver City City Hall from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. on Tues. June 12.

Food and Water Watch will hold a protest at Culver City City Hall immediately before the California Department of Conservation Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR)’s meeting on fracking at that venue on Tues. June 12.

The protest will be held from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. at Culver City City Hall and the meeting will begin at 7 p.m.

While the meeting is designed to gather information on the best ways to regulate fracking, FWW’s Michael Pineschi, released a statement saying,  “While some have called for better disclosure of fracking chemicals and property owner notification, these steps will not adequately protect public health, safety and the environment. Until fracking can be proven safe, the only viable solution is a ban.”
