Shale Gas Resistance – Lessons and Stories from the Marcellus Region

A natural gas boom fracking the US for the past decade has brought energy giants like Haliburton to my home in the Finger Lakes Region. Over the past few years a vibrant resistance movement has emerged to challenge the gas industry and raise radical questions about… well, everything.

This workshop presents engaging and relevant stories about radical rural organizing as well as a resistance mission briefing—tactical reflections, industry overview, past/other movement successes, reflections, and of course warrior skills for bringing down exploitative industry everywhere!
