- Connect with others regarding ongoing issues and outrage surrounding hydrofracking.
- Experience the rare opportunity to listen to many well-known speakers in one venue — representing science, economics, health, legal opinion, and citizens with first-hand experience with fracking.
- Movies — Screen cutting-edge documentary films by independent filmmakers.
- Music — Hear live music with a message.
- Learn what you can do to be involved and protect your wealth, health and welfare.
