> Dear Meg,
> 
> Today could be precedent-setting in the fight against fracking!
> 
> In just a few hours, my team and I head to the highest court in New York to defend Dryden—a small town that has banned oil and gas development within its borders—against a powerful company that’s trying to frack in the town.
> 
> This case is critical in the fight against fracking and for a community’s right to decide its own fate—and we need you to stand with us to help us win.
> 
> Chip in $5 or more today to help us see this and other critical fights through.
> 
> Fracking is a controversial drilling technique in which millions of gallons of chemically treated, toxic water are injected underground at high pressure to fracture rock formations and release natural gas and oil deposits inside the rock...with poor regulation and oversight, all for the sake of short-term profits.
> 
> Every day, my office receives troubling reports of poisoned drinking water, polluted air, animal deaths, industrial disasters, and explosions from the dizzying expansion of fracking operations across the country.
> 
> And we witness brutal fracking accidents—including a gas well that recently exploded and burned for days at a fracking site in Bobtown, Pennsylvania.
> 
> Will you help us fight back?
> 
> Earthjustice is taking on this growing crisis by empowering communities to keep dangerous fracking operations out of their backyards. And in places where fracking is already underway, we’re fighting for better regulations and safeguards. But to win, we—and communities across the country—need you by our side.
> 
> With thousands of new fracking sites being drilled—more than 13,000 new wells each year—we are working hard to keep drinking water and air clean, and to prevent land and communities from being destroyed...but we can’t take on this and other critical work without you.
> 
> Chip in $5 or more today to help us fight fracking and take on some of the most powerful companies in the world.
> 
> You and I know there are better ways to meet our energy needs. Thank you for standing with us.
> 
> Sincerely,
>

> P.S. Today we go to court to defend local communities like Dryden, New York, and take on the powerful oil and gas industry! Help us win.
