Gasland: A film by Josh Fox

Currently, Dakota Resource Council is the only organization working on fracking in North Dakota. We work with farmers, ranchers, and frontline communities in the western half of the state to empower voices and inspire action. Our foremost effort is disclosure. We are also engaging the eastern urban areas to form a unified state voice. We want people protected first, not corporations. Dakota Resource Council is a nonprofit, grassroots community organization. The mission of DRC is to form enduring, democratic local groups that empower people to influence decision-making processes that affect their lives. DRC works to protect North Dakota's land, air, water, rural communities and agricultural economy.

We are a group of NC citizens, students, nurses, well drillers, families, farmers, bikers, welders, lawyers, aldermen, businesspeople, and children who love and are grateful for the water that nourishes our lives. We live in the Deep River Shale basin of NC, an 150 mile area that stretches from South Granville County to Lee, Rockingham and Anson. We began this group to educate others about the high risks of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, that is looming in NC.
