🎉 Acknowledgements

A warm welcome 👋to new member Brian Hedden, a filmmaker working on the documentary The New Fracking System.

Here’s a synopsis of Brian’s film: When a fracking mega-site gets moved from a White neighborhood to a BIPOC neighborhood, a concerned mother fights to try and stop it. She soon joins the state-wide movement to change the law but the powerful oil and gas industry fights back with lawsuits, racialized harassment, political sabotage, and $50 million.

You can donate to help him finish the film here and meet Brian at his upcoming summit session here.
