Dear Governor Cuomo,

We, the undersigned, call on you to protect our health, our safety, our property values, our communities, our way of life, and our entire future by instituting a permanent ban on hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas in New York State. Fracking simply cannot be done safely, and nothing short of a ban will protect the residents of New York. We urge you to enact a permanent ban immediately. We also encourage you to respond to the economic crisis and create jobs by investing in clean sustainable energy technologies, energy conservation and education projects, and the retrofitting, refurbishing, or reconstructing of buildings and infrastructure. Again, most important: Enact a permanent ban on fracking, and save our state

The feedback I have received from residents across the state underscores the shared anxiety regarding the risks of hydraulic fracturing to our water and land. I am currently coordinating with environmental advocacy groups to ensure our collective position reaches the Governor with the appropriate legal weight. We remain committed to this cause until our natural resources receive the permanent protection they require.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the growing consensus that New York must prioritize environmental safety over industrial drilling. Your collective action demonstrates that the public is fully prepared to advocate for long-term health and sustainable energy solutions.

This is critical to our health & welfare as well as our animals. People rely on organic farms for fresh healthy food. There's got to be a better way.
