These documents together constitute a toolkit for organizing around local strategies to address the threats of fracking:
1. Educate your neighbors to keep as many people as possible from signing leases;
2. Work with your local elected leaders to implement ordinances or resolutions to say “NO” to fracking; and
3. Work with your local elected leaders to take back local control over zoning with legal challenges.
The toolkit can be printed as a whole and used to organize your community around these three strategies. Or, the documents can be used individually.
