Alameda County BOS Votes on Fracking Ban

Across California, the dominos of fracking are toppling over. Butte County just banned fracking by a landslide 71% vote. Monterey is gearing up to beat back the oil industry on November’s ballot. Let’s make Alameda County next, and set the golden standard for the Bay Area and beyond.

This is the final vote in the community’s campaign to pass a ban on fracking in Alameda County! For the last two years, Big Oil has used delaying tactics and wild exaggerations to claim that a ban on fracking and other extreme methods of extracting oil and gas in Alameda County would affect the existing oil field near Livermore.

Now, we must come together one more time to defend our air, water, and living things in case representatives of Big Oil show up again and threaten to sue the county. We’ll provide provide signs and you’ll have an opportunity to speak if you choose to. Will you join us for this final vote to show your support for banning fracking once and for all in Alameda County?

Yes, I’ll be there!

Calling all fractivists!  The Alameda County Board of Supervisors votes on the proposed High Intensity Oil and Gas Operations Ordinance.   Alameda County could become the very first Bay Area county to ban fracking and other extreme extraction methods.  But it’s not a done deal, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the industry pulls some last-minute maneuvers.  We need to be prepared for anything they throw at us.

Passionate public testimony at this hearing—and letters and emails to Alameda Supervisors in the run-up—will ensure the passage of this important ordinance.  Let’s keep Alameda County frack-free!  Plan to arrive by 12:30 to fill the hearing room; Alameda County Against Fracking will provide signs and talking points. Big turnout is crucial, so please show up and represent.
