"Building Community Power in the Shalefields of Pennsylvania" with Zora Gussow
August Monday Mayhem!
August 4, 2014
7:00PM - 9:00PM
Flying Squirrel Community Space
285 Clarissa St.
Donations welcomed!
Zora Gussow will speak about her work in the north-central PA shalefields with the Shalefield Organizing Committee (SOC). SOC has been working in Sullivan and Columbia Counties for the past year building community connections and recording personal accounts of life in the shalefields. We are also facilitating community meetings surrounding a proposed pipeline which would bisect Columbia County. Pending her legal status, Zora will also be speaking about the work of Marcellus Shale Earth First and the current discussion of the use of Non-Violent Direct action in the anti-fracking movement in Pennsylvania, and in particular the Jersey Shore 5 road blockade in the Tiadaghton State Forest in March of 2014.
On the first Monday of every month, the Flying Squirrel hosts special programming that forgoes the technical and logistical concerns of running an open-use community space in order to take a closer look at the impact of our actions on the community and our potential as a catalyst for change.
