Marcellus Protest
724-485-9835 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15217 |
We are a grassroots organization that started when leases were being signed in our city. Pittsburgh sits on a triangle surrounded by three rivers. We were able to lobby our council members when we heard about the leasing and were successful in being the FIRST City in the US to BAN drilling. With the help of many dedicated people, Josh Fox, Councilman Doug Shields and of course Gasland, which is still being used as the most effective tool we have today. |
