</div><div>=</div><div> Trump administration is holding public hearings THIS WEEK on its plan to allow fracking on the doorstep of Yosemite National Park and other precious lands.(1)Trump's "drill everywhere" plan is almost impossible to believe. He wants to frack national wildlife refuges and under schools. Yosemite. Kings Canyon. Sequoia National Park. All of it is at risk.(2)But we can stop it by passing AB 342, California Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi's bill to ban fracking infrastructure on state lands, which would make it impossible for Trump to frack Yosemite. AB 342 just passed the Assembly, and we need to make sure it gets through the Senate and onto Governor Newsom's desk.<a rel="nofollow" target="blank" href="https://act.couragecampaign.org/go/23204?amount=5&t=18&akid=8146%2E1986283%2EmgQvOW" style="color: rgb(25, 106, 212);">Will you chip in $5 to help protect Yosemite and stop Trump’s “drill everywhere” fracking plan?</a>California has become a leader in green policy, inaugurating one of its most environmentally friendly governors ever and embarking on a path to 100% renewable energy.(3,4)Now Trump is threatening nearly a million acres in the state with hydraulic fracturing.(5)The natural-gas drilling process poisons groundwater, destabilizes seismic activity, and consistently causes leaks and explosions at well sites. It increases earthquake activity -- and California has enough of its own. Fracking is so destructive that a seminal study of the process concluded that there is “no evidence that fracking can be practiced in a manner that does not threaten human health.”(6)The videos you've seen of fire coming out of people’s sink faucets? Fracking.(7) And 11 counties in California would be affected.We just can't allow this to happen. Right now, the Bureau of Land Management is accepting public comments about the fracking plan, and we need to raise a grassroots movement against it. And we need to pass AB 342, because oil companies need infrastructure on state-owned lands in order to transport fracked gas from federal land, so no infrastructure, no fracking. States like Maryland have had success with the same tactic, and we can do it in California.(8)<a rel="nofollow" target="blank" href="https://act.couragecampaign.org/go/23204?amount=5&t=19&akid=8146%2E1986283%2EmgQvOW" style="color: rgb(25, 106, 212);">With your help, we can stop Trump’s fracking plan for California. Will you rush a donation of $5 to our emergency campaign today?</a>Caitlin, along with Analeeza, Annie, Brenna, Diego, Eddie, Lindsay, Mai, Mary, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)Footnotes:
