Jews Against Hydrofracking

We aim to educate and mobilize the Jewish community against hydrofracking, an extreme form of natural gas extraction that uses huge amounts of water mixed with toxic chemicals.

As Jews, we recognize our responsibility to safeguard the earth for our children and grandchildren. The expansion of hydrofracking is not aligned with our Jewish values.
