On November 9, folks from around the state stood alongside the communities directly impacted by fracking. Using the hashtag #StandwithKern we captured the happenings of the day and those who supported our action from afar.
Leading up to the meeting, community members organized a 4-day fast in the tradition of Cesar E. Chavez to call attention to the environmental health issues they experience due to fracking and oil extraction.
While the ordinance was passed, we were successful in showing that our movement is strong, united, and growing by the day.
