We will have short films, speakers, and a public discussion concerning the fairness of the use of our natural resources, and how massive oil, gas, and petrochemical development will affect average people in the Tri-State Area and our water resources. 

This meeting is a chance to hear from other concerned residents in the area, share             information, and maybe even have a chance to talk with officials.
