Hundreds of students from around the country have come together to learn about divestment campaigning, so that they can go back home and help their universities divest from dirty energy companies and re-invest in a clean energy future.

Stop the Frack Attack National Summit at Holiday Inn - Stapleton in Denver, Colorado. Oct 3-5, 2015
Harper, Clark and big oil are ramping up their campaign to push pipelines and fracking through BC opposition. Let them know we won't back down.
This fall, we’ve seen the Federal and Provincial governments renew their push to turn BC into a Carbon Corridor. From tar sands pipelines like the Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan, to Fracking, LNG and coal exports, we face a critical choice. Will we choose a just and sustainable future or to become a gateway to climate disaster?
Government and industry seem dedicated to pushing through pipelines, despite a resounding “No” that has been issued by First Nations and communities all across the province. If they build it, we will come together across generations and block it.
What: PowerShift BC March and Action. Hundreds of youth from across the province and beyond took to the streets to demand a just and sustainable future ending at the BC Legislature
The PowerShift October 7th Day of Action was organized in solidarity with Idle No More’s National Day of Action on the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Royal Proclamation. For more information please check out:

HANDS ACROSS THE SAND 2014: CLEAN WATER, NOT DIRTY DRILLING. PART OF NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION
MAY 17, 2014 NAPLES PIER.
IMAGES BY Linda S. Jacobson
Starved Rock State Park is one of illinois' most beloved natural and tourist attractions. It's full of canyons, waterfalls, and bluffs with spectacular views that overlook the Illinois River near the town of Ottawa.
Unfortunately, the area in and around the park is home to deposits of fine silica sand which is used in the process of hydraulic fracturing of the earth to release shale gas. Fracking gas is a dangerous pollutant that poisons water and releases large amounts of methane gas into the atmosphere.
Mississippi Sand LLC, a company based outside of St. Louis, Missouri has applied for a permit to begin frac sand mining. This mine will be situated very close to the entrance to the park.
Residents in the area fear that the mine will not only have a negative impact on their lives in terms of water, air, and noise pollution, but also lessen the park's attraction as a tourist destination, thereby also negatively impacting the local economy.
Mississippi Sand LLC says it intends to be a good neighbor and that these fears are groundless.
Hundreds of protesters calmly mixing with hundreds of Police ... it's a worrying business, this fracturing of the very ground we stand on, and the possibility of water contamination.

Demonstrators outside a planning meeting at Lancashire County Council in Preston, where applications to install test drilling rigs for fracking shale gas near Blackpool are being discussed. The result was expected later . . .
But the councillors forced to adjourn the meeting several times, to hear legal advice, and decided to defer their decision until they could read the full advice . . .
Which they duly did. And after yet more pressure from their planning officer and legal adviser, who said the councillors had no grounds to refuse it, they bravely voted to reject the planning proposal by applicants Cuadrilla, which is part owned by British Gas. There will be an appeal by Cuadrilla and that will be decided by the government, which is in favour of fracking.
This one will run and run.

Fracking for oil and natural gas is transforming the way the United States powers its economy. A flood of low-priced natural gas has undercut new nuclear plants and nudged utilities to pull the plug on old ones. Cheap gas has also stolen market share from coal and has also hit renewable sources of power, such as wind and solar. Now the fracking bonanza is spreading to China and beyond. With the U.S. poised to become the world’s largest petroleum producer in a few years, the world’s new energy equation could undermine OPEC and profoundly alter the geopolitical balance of power.
Russell Gold’s new book The Boom illustrates Texas oilmen and Oklahoma wildcatters who developed and perfected hydraulic fracturing technology that ushered in a new era of American industry. Trevor Houser’s new book Fueling Up examines the economics of fracking. Join us for a conversation about the most powerful force in today’s energy economy.
