Westchester Residents Join Thousands in Albany to Protest Fracking. June 17, 2013

Westchester and Rockland Counties sent a bus to join in the rally, New York Crossroads: Say No to Fracking and Say Yes to Renewable Energy in Albany on Monday, June 17th.  Several thousand people attended the successful event which called for the New York Senate to pass a two year moratorium tied to a comprehensive Health Impact Assessment (HIA) before the legislative session ends this week. The large crowd and prominent speakers also called on Governor Cuomo to ban fracking and to embrace renewables as the way forward for sustainability and long-term job creation.
