On a rainy night in May 2012 a collation of musicians, scientists and activists gathered in Albany on the governor’s front doorstep, calling for a ban on hydraulic-fracturing. The cord that bound them all was that they were first and foremost New Yorkers: New Yorkers Against Fracking. This film is a unique blend of “The Last Waltz” and “An Inconvenient Truth” and features several award-winning scientists, actors and musicians including Melissa Leo, Natalie Merchant, Joan Osborne, Mark Ruffalo, and many more.
Please join us for a special screening of the film followed by a call for all to participate in a letter-writing campaign. Come early to catch “The Sky is Pink,” a 15-minute short film about fracking.
This event is free and open to the public.
Refreshments will be served.
5:00 pm Doors Open
5:10 pm “The Sky Is Pink” screening (on loop)
6:30 pm “Dear Governor Cuomo” screening
