Nov 28, Dec 3, and Dec 10: Marcellus trainings

In the coming years Exxon Mobil, Range Resources, and others plan to drill tens of thousands more Marcellus Shale wells, threatening our health and environment. That's why they are putting so much energy and resources fighting any policies that will protect us from this dangerous industrial activity.  The thousands of drilled Marcellus Shale wells are just the beginning.

PennEnvironment has launched a new project to give Pennsylvanians the tools they need to protect their community.

WHAT: Pittsburgh-area Marcellus Shale Citizen Organizer Training

WHEN & WHERE: Choose from one of three events in the region.

• Mt. Lebanon Training: Monday, November 28th, 6:00 p.m.-8:45 p.m. Mt. Lebanon Public Library

• Monroeville Training: Saturday, December 3rd, 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. Monroeville Public Library

• Squirrel Hill Training: Saturday, December 10th, 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. Carnegie Library of Squirrel Hill

The plan is simple, but big. We need to train a thousand Pennsylvanians with the skills they need to protect their communities from gas drilling. Whether you're new to activism or been on the front lines of the Marcellus Shale, this training will help you take the fight to the next level.

You'll learn from PennEnvironment staff and other organizers in the area how to effectively engage with decision makers on these issues, generate media coverage, and how to hold your elected officials accountable for their failure to tackle the Marcellus Shale gas drilling issue. And, you'll get to meet more people working on these issues so you can band together to protect your community.
