Agnes -

Can you imagine fracking in California? Governor Brown wants to allow it,
which would be devastating news for our health and our climate. In order
to get Governor Brown to drop his plan and ban fracking in our state, we
need massive public pressure. That's why we are teaming up with our
friends at CREDO Action to get the word out.

There are only three days left to submit a public comment. Please take a
minute and make your voice heard to ban fracking in California.

Dear Agnes,

2013 was California's driest year in recorded history. But the devastating
drought isn't stopping Governor Brown from signing off on a massive
expansion of water-intensive fracking, which not only permanently
contaminates vast quantities of water but also fuels climate-change-driven
extreme drought.

Governor Brown's administration recently proposed regulations that, far
from protecting California from toxic fracking, give it an official stamp
of approval. The state is accepting public comments on the regulations
until Tuesday, which gives us a crucial opportunity to demonstrate the
depth and intensity of public opposition to fracking by flooding the state
with tens of thousands of public comments condemning this dangerous
proposal -- and, hopefully, pressure Governor Brown to change course.

Tell Governor Brown: Scrap your dangerous fracking regulations and ban
fracking now. Click here to submit a public comment.

The most important flaw in Governor Brown's fracking regulations is that
they allow fracking, as well as other dangerous oil-extraction techniques
like acidizing, in which huge quantities of acid are injected underground.
There are no regulations that can make fracking safe. However it's
regulated, fracking contaminates water, produces toxic air pollution,
creates dangerous wastewater, industrializes communities, and accelerates
climate change by allowing the fossil fuel industry to burn and extract
otherwise inaccessible oil and gas.

Governor Brown has called climate change "the world's greatest existential
challenge," repeatedly stated his commitment to reducing carbon pollution
from fossil fuels, and fought for renewable energy. But Governor Brown
can't have it both ways: No real climate leader would frack California.
Fossil fuel companies already have proven reserves of oil, gas and coal
far greater than what we can burn without hurtling over the climate cliff,
so there's just no excuse to extract even more oil with fracking.

Activists across the state are organizing to ban fracking in their cities
and counties, to pressure their state legislators into standing up for a
statewide ban on fracking, and to confront Governor Brown wherever he
makes a public appearance. This public comment period gives us a chance to
come together to speak out against fracking and call on Governor Brown to
protect our state from this irredeemably toxic industry.

Tell Governor Brown: Scrap your dangerous fracking regulations and ban
fracking now. Click here to submit a public comment.
