[BwayDems] Ban Fracking at Democratic State Convention (5/22, Long Island)

[Eric Weltman]

Tell Governor Cuomo to Ban Fracking
at the State Democratic Convention!
On May 22, Governor Cuomo is attending the Democratic Convention on Long Island – and we must be there in full force demanding a ban on fracking.
This is a very important event for Cuomo – and for New Yorkers fighting to protect our state from fracking.
Cuomo will describe his vision for New York’s future – and we must show him the power of the movement demanding it be frack-free.
Cuomo will ask New Yorkers for their support – and New Yorkers will call on him to ban fracking and stop fracking infrastructure, including the Port Ambrose liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility off the coast of scenic Long Beach.
WHEN: Thursday, May 22, 10:00 am – noon
WHERE: State Democratic Convention, Hilton Long Island/Huntington Hotel, 598 Broad Hollow Road, Melville
TRANSPORTATION: Buses from Manhattan, Westchester, Rockland, and Hudson Valley will be available
