The Truth about Fracking's Harm to Human Health
2025-10-30 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual Meeting
Join us for a webinar with Dr. Kathy Nolan
The Delaware River Frack Ban and Climate Action Coalition invites you to join us for a deep dive into how the development of fracking has negatively impacted the health of those who live in Pennsylvania’s shale region communities. This will be a virtual, free presentation.
Thursday, October 30, 7-8 pm REGISTER HERE
High volume hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) has released air and water pollution, harming peoples’ health, and its industrial footprint has indelibly degraded communities and their environment. Thousands of health and environmental studies and reports have documented the growing adverse effects as fracking has expanded over the years. Dr. Nolan will examine why and how this is occurring.
The current push by the federal government and industrial interests to increase fossil fuel development, coupled with the new demand for more fracking to serve data centers and the export of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) here in Pennsylvania, is further threatening the health and safety of our communities. And recent moves by federal legislators such as closed-door meetings with federal officials and pro-fracking interests have revealed a concerted effort to expand fracked gas development statewide by overturning the ban on fracking in the Delaware River Watershed and building LNG export facilities on the Delaware River.
Documenting and exposing fracking’s enormous harm to human health is a powerful and essential task that must be advanced if we are to stop the fracking juggernaut. Please join us to learn more about it and how you can help stop this frack attack.

Trash and Burn: An Online Documentary Screening and Transformative Event
2025-11-10 18:00 - 19:00 | Virtual Meeting
Do you know where your trash goes when it leaves the curb, and what impacts it has on the communities nearby? Thanks to Council member Gauthier’s recently proposed bill, Philadelphia could stop sending its garbage to be burned in Chester, where poor air quality has resulted in devastating health impacts including high rates of asthma and cancers.
Join us for an online screening of PSR PA board member Bilal Motley’s documentary on incineration in Chester, Trash and Burn, and a conversation on how we can support this bill now and push for long term reinvention of our waste system so that no community suffers from the harms of another’s trash.
This gripping documentary follows one woman’s decades-long fight to stop the nation’s largest trash incinerator from polluting her small town. Following the screening, engage in a 30-minute discussion on environmental justice.
Speakers: Bilal and Dr. Kristin Motley

WEBINAR: Uncovering PA's AI + Energy Strategy
2025-12-04 18:00 - 19:30 | Virtual Meeting
Here is an opportunity to learn more about Team PA and economic development.
Big Tech is promising big economic rewards through AI and data center development, and the fracked gas industry is positioning itself to be the sole energy provider. Meanwhile, we are asking ourselves why cheap, clean, fast to deploy renewables are being left out of the conversation and what all this means for Pennsylvania workers and communities.
The answer: Team PA. The Team Pennsylvania Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that works closely with state officials to execute their mission of growing the state’s economy. Since its inception in 1997, Team PA has championed fossil fuels as the key to economic development and prosperity for the Commonwealth.
Join PennFuture to learn more about how this group of unelected economic development professionals make decisions about our economic future and their current plan to attract AI and data centers with the promise of cheap fracked gas.
