Target: Governor J. Kevin Stitt, Oklahoma State Government
Goal: Halt the expansion of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations to safeguard Oklahoma’s environment and communities.
Oklahoma’s serene landscapes are under threat as the expansion of hydraulic fracturing operations accelerates. This extraction technique poses severe risks to the environment, water sources, and the health of the communities. The constant injection of chemicals into the earth, combined with the release of methane and other harmful emissions, has led to increased seismic activity and contamination of groundwater.
The state’s unique biodiversity and natural beauty are at stake, and the health and well-being of the citizens are compromised as we witness escalating air and water pollution. The expansion of fracking disregards the rights of those who live in proximity to these operations and subjects them to environmental hazards.
Sign the petition below to demand an immediate halt to the expansion of hydraulic fracturing operations in Oklahoma, safeguarding the land, water, and communities from irreversible harm.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Governor J. Kevin Stitt,
The legacy of Oklahoma’s beauty and natural abundance is at a critical crossroads. As the leader entrusted with the welfare of the state, it falls upon you to make decisions that will reverberate for generations. The rapid expansion of hydraulic fracturing operations threatens to shatter the harmony of the environment, impacting the water sources, endangering the health, and degrading the very essence of Oklahoma.
We beseech you to consider the dire consequences of allowing this unchecked expansion to persist. The earthquakes, water contamination, and deteriorating air quality are not abstract concepts; they are realities the citizens face daily. It is your duty to ensure that future Oklahomans can experience the same pride and appreciation for the land that current citizens do today.
We urge you to take decisive action to halt the expansion of hydraulic fracturing operations in the state. Let the legacy be one of responsible stewardship, where we safeguard our natural wonders and prioritize the well-being of the communities.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
