Support SB 166: Ban Fracking In Florida

Florida's delicate ecology and vast underground aquifer system are in danger from fracking.

We’re at an important moment in the debate over this critical issue: Sens. Darren Soto (D-Orlando) and Dwight Bullard (D-Miami) have introduced SB 166, a statewide ban on this dangerous threat to our water, our environment, and the health of our communities.

Sign our petition urging legislators to support SB 166 and finally remove the threat of fracking from endangering the Florida we love.
