Hydrofracking Team: Sierra Club Activist Network

Welcome from Docent

Hi!
We are club members from around the country working on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

Fracking uses pressurized fluids to break hydrocarbons loose from rock formations such as Marcellus shale in the northeast or Haynesville in the south. Coal and oil activists are welcome too! Leave a message, check out our database, find a friend, and come back soon!

Sincerely,

Jessica & Dave

What's the core team?
Core Team Areas are by invitation only. They are used for private team business like: agendas, minutes, decisions, draft materials which are not ready for public review.

Sierra Club Teams in this online network that have an approved charge (through the Activist Network Coordinating Pair, or through a chapter or group) can have a private core team area. To find out more, contact activist.network@sierraclub.org.

Summary: Educating ourselves and the public on the environmental and health consequences of hydrofracking.
Our goal is to insure that Club activists, members, and the public have the best possible information on hydrofracking, to prepare materials for local advocates to prevent or address environmental damage, and to reform national, state and local oil and gas industry regulations so that they more effectively protect the public and the environment.
