Fracking is poison. It sickens people, harms communities near drilling sites, and threatens the climate. And for years, the government has prioritized corporate profits over public health and a stable climate.





Now, we have a chance to do something about it on a level that matches the scale of the problem. Senator Bernie Sanders and Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Darren Soto just introduced a bill that would amount to a national ban on fracking. The Fracking Ban Act would forbid federal agencies from approving permits for the expansion of fracking and fracked oil and gas infrastructure.





All fossil fuels are bad for our climate, but fracking is especially terrible -- it produces methane gas, which traps heat at 87 times the rate of carbon dioxide. The climate crisis is already here, and a ban on fracking is exactly the kind of bold step we need to take if we want to stop it.





Send your legislators a message urging them to support the Fracking Ban Act. As a constituent, let them know that transitioning away from dirty fuels should be a top priority for the years to come.
