The Mothers Project, Inc.
646-519-1076 2753 Broadway #186 New York, N.Y., Other |
This is a global coalition of mothers formed on behalf of children who cannot vote or make public policy. As their advocates and protectors, we support energy sources that do not fill our children’s environment—and thus their bodies—with toxic pollutants. Recognizing that our children’s lives are inextricably bound to the abiding ecology of the planet, we support energy sources that do not threaten the stability of the world’s climate, acidify its oceans, or fill the air with asthma- inducing, cancer-causing fumes. As mothers are the first environments for our children, we mothers support energy sources that do not threaten the inner sanctuaries of pregnancy with chemicals linked to birth defects, preterm birth, and cognitive deficits. |

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. |
