Earth First! Protests Hydrofracking with Guerrilla Theater "Dump-in"

Imagine what would happen if you dumped a barrel of toxic chemicals in or around the drinking supply for hundreds of thousands of people. Of course, you'd be arrested, heavily fined, and prosecuted. In addition, the government and corporate media would likely mark you as a domestic terrorist. Now imagine what would happen if a natural gas corporation were to pump thousands gallons of toxic chemicals into the ground and dump thousands of gallons of toxic sludge in and around people's water supply across the country. The result would be a gas industry turning over billions in profits with complete impunity and without accountability to the affected communities. There's really no need to imagine this second nightmarish scenario as this is the everyday reality of the communities that experience hydraulic fracturing (or "fracking")—a method natural gas extraction involving the high-pressure injection of water, sand and toxic chemicals underground to break up shale rock formations.

An hour-long internet-based group-watching experience hosted by Emmy and Tony Award Winner Mandy Patinkin, With Earth and Each Other will feature celebrities, special musical performances including the legendary Pete Seeger, and segments highlighting many of the wonderful and moving examples of Middle East cooperation. With Earth and Each Other will demonstrate that there is more to the Middle East than conflict.

This is not a political rally. The purpose is not to take a side, say who is right or wrong, or suggest what the peace process or the solution should look like. Instead, the purpose is to raise the voices of those on all sides, and throughout the world that yearn for peace, to marginalize those who try to undermine it, and to show the world that there is another side of the conflict in which people across borders are striving to work together for the betterment of all.

So spread the word, sign up to attend a local rally watching event, and let's join together for this special day to bring hope to a new future for the Middle East and for all of us.
