Yesterday was an amazing sight to see: over 1,000 people from all across Maryland marched through the streets of Annapolis to demand a ban on fracking in our state. We stretched on for blocks and blocks as chants of “Don’t Frack Maryland, Ban Fracking Now!” rang through the air. The massive march culminated with an overflow rally outside of the State House, where incredible speakers from across the progressive movement laid out our vision for a safe, healthy, and frack-free Maryland.

Our movement to ban fracking in Maryland has never been bigger. The Don’t Frack Maryland coalition includes over 170 diverse organizations, and legislation to ban fracking has the support of more than 90 legislators, just shy of half the General Assembly.
