Dear Fellow Volunteers,

Great News! We now have a booth at the Denton Community Market! We will have educational materials to share, t-shirts, and local art! The market runs every Saturday from now through November 28th. If you would like to sign up to help for a Saturday please email frackfreedenton@gmail.com

Another great way to to help is by following the ongoing developments at city hall pertaining to drilling and gas well regulations. Often, there will be opportunities to speak our suggestions on these items by showing up and filling out a blue card. Sign up for our mailing list by sending an email to frackfreedenton@gmail.com or ‘like’ us on facebook for updates and notifications about upcoming city council meetings.

Another helpful page to follow is ‘Blackland Prairie Rising Tide‘ who have been holding regular protests and rallies throughout the summer and kept the issue of fracking in the media.

As we saw during the campaign leading up to the vote, ‘Frack Free Denton’ is only possible because of the work of creative, perseverant, and caring volunteers. Together, we knocked on over 95% of the homes in Denton to share the news with our neighbors and get out the vote. We stood in the rain together to clarify the ballot wording for voters. We wrote letters, phone banked, wrote songs, flash mob danced, light-brigade-ed, painted banners and WON a ban on fracking. Despite the overwhelming trials that we have faced since then, we have forever changed the conversation and awareness of the harms of fracking in Texas and around the world. We showed the power of a dedicated group of people to enact change. These are the strengths we will draw on as our battle turns to restoring our local control, repealing HB40, and ultimately winning back the ban we fought so hard for.

-Grateful to serve with you,
