CFROG's Abrah Steward will be speaking about the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) recent proposal to open up over 1 million acres of our public lands and mineral rights in CA to oil and gas drilling and fracking.
Approximately 400,000 acres of parks, ecological reserves, and beaches across Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Kern, and surrounding counties are at risk of being opened up to new oil & gas drilling -- threatening wildlife, sensitive habitats, recreation, our climate and environment, public health, and so much more.
Come and learn more about this reckless proposal, and how you can get involved and take action to fight back!
