Today, President Obama is coming through Scranton to campaign for his Jobs Bill, but November 30th is a very important day for Dimock residents who lost their water after Cabot Oil and Gas used hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to drill for gas near their homes.
Today, Cabot will stop delivering water to their water buffaloes, by order of PA Governor Corbett. After November 30th, Dimock residents will have to buy water every day or else drink the tap water that is contaminated with methane and hazardous chemicals.
Today, let’s rally and tell President Obama that fracking is NOT a clean energy, that PA residents should not be sacrificed, and that we need safe, permanent jobs that won’t disappear when the gas is gone, requiring us to destroy where we live or our health.
Meet at Occupy Scranton, 1:30 PM (Linden and S. Dix Ct)
Walk over to Scranton High School at 2 PM.
