This is an urgent call to the fans of GASLAND and to the fracking movement across the nation, please act now to Save the Delaware River. On November 21st, the Delaware River Basin commission will vote on a plan to allow 20,000 gas wells in the Delaware River basin. We need calls to come from all over the nation and we need people from all over the region to come out in protest on November 21st.

The Delaware River Basin commission is comprised of five voting members, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York, Governor Christie of New Jersey, Governor Corbett of Pennsylvania, Governor Markell from Delaware and the Obama Administration represented by the Army Corps of Engineers. For the Delaware River to be opened up to drilling three out of five have to vote yes on the draft regulations plan. We need them all to reject the proposal and reject gas drilling and fracking.

There has never been a more urgent moment in the North east in the battle against fracking. The Delaware is the primary drinking water source for 15.6 million people and it is a national treasure.

Four actions you can take:

1) Call the the Governors from the member states and President Obama TODAY and tell them, "Hello, I am calling you to express my serious concerns about hydrofracking. Please Don’t Drill the Delaware!"

Governor Christie’s office - 609-292-6000
Governor Cuomo’s office - 518-474-8390
Gov Corbett’s office – 717-787-2500
Gov Markell’s Wilmington Office - 302-577-3210
And the white house comment line is 202-456-1111
2) Come to the DRBC meeting!

When: November 21, 8 am

Where: Patriots Theater at the War Memorial, 1 Memorial Drive Trenton, N.J. Map HERE.

There are over 20 buses traveling in from all over the region. Click HERE for bus sign up.

3) Delaware Riverkeeper will be hosting a Peaceful Non-Violent Direct Action Training on November 20th. For more information, sign up HERE.

4) If you work with an organization fighting to keep our water safe from hydraulic fracturing, please send this alert to those in your membership, and post it on facebook.

We will continue to send updates in the coming weeks.

For more information go to savethedelawareriver.com or visit delawareriverkeeper.org

With your help, we can stop the poisoning of our historic rivers and move to renewable and sustainable energy solutions.

Thanks for all you do! Together we can turn the tide.

Josh and the Gasland Team

    Any politician who backs oil company or coal seam gas by poisoning the water should have his finances investigated, be recalled and an election run to replace him where the people oppose this. And any property owner who permits poisoning of the aquafirs for profit should be held responsible by class action lawsuit .? There should be no means of gain for this crime.

    Josh, you probably already know this, but I think Vimeo will allow you to replace the video, so you can make an update and keep the same URL. -- BH

    DRBC BLINKS! Gas Drilling hearing on the Delaware River moved to November 21st. Your pressure bought us a month, folks. Don't let up now. Keep those calls coming! We will re-organize the protest for November 21st. Same date, same issue, different month.

    SAVE THE DELAWARE RIVER FROM FRACKING!

    We need to do the same kind of action at the SRBC. Last month in Cooperstown, they -- without comment--- unanimously approved 22 new water withdrawl permits, after dozens of people spoke out against it:

    The message couldn't be stated any better! Great job with the film! We all need to act on this. If we don't, big industry will continue to batter and scar the earth to put money in their pockets and chemicals in our land, rivers and oceans! They must be stopped!!!
