Help make history today! Against fracking? Then head to Downtown LA for an historic event!

The anti-fracking movement is just that--on the move. And you can be part of history. But you'd better be quick, because history will be made today, Thursday, at noon. And not just around the corner.

It's the launch of Californians Against Fracking, a statewide coalition. And believe me, this event will be big.

If you wanted to start a major organization affecting the entire state, and launch it in LA, where would you go? How about Governor Jerry Brown's Los Angeles office?

We will take our message directly to Governor Brown as we deliver tens of thousands of signatures on petitions to ban fracking at a rally in front of the governor's office in Los Angeles.

So head on down to learn, enjoy and soak up the vibes of those who care passionately about this hugely important environmental issue.

Want the details? Here they are: Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 12 Noon 300 S. Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90013

Take part in the rally and hear the press conference. And get to see and hear our guest speaker in person: Josh Fox, writer and director of Gasland, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 2011, and the just released Gasland 2, landmark films that helped expose this dirty and dangerous oil and natural gas extraction technique.

Californians Against Fracking is a statewide coalition to ban fracking in California. Over 50 organizations participating in the coalition include: 350.org, California Nurses Association, Center for Biological Diversity, Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment, Citizens Coalition for a Safe Community, CREDO, Democracy for America, Environment California, Family Farm Defenders, Food and Water Watch, Organic Consumers Association, Progressive Democrats of America and many others across the state.

In case you're not familiar with fracking, this sophisticated process of extracting oil and gas from the ground poses a direct and immediate threat to the drinking water, air, food, health, wildlife, climate and economy of California. While our state prides itself on being a leader in the fight against climate change, oil companies are gearing up to frack the estimated 15 billion barrels of oil in the Monterey Shale. This area is home to some of the state's most productive farmland, critical water sources, important wildlife habitat and communities from the Salinas Valley to the Los Angeles Basin.

For more information about fracking, check out the website of a local environmental organization, Citizens Coalition for a Safe Community, co-founded by Culver City resident Paul Ferrazzi and Gary Gless.
