Fast for No New Permits
This campaign has ended.
FERC must stop rubber-stamping gas industry permit applications and change the way it operates. FERC must prioritize the emergence of wind, solar and other renewables above fossil fuels.
I stand in solidarity with the Beyond Extreme Energy fasters on your doorstep who say: No New Permits!

Why is this important?
In his encyclical on the climate, Pope Francis wrote:
“There is an urgent need to develop policies so that, in the next few years, the emission of carbon dioxide and other highly polluting gases can be drastically reduced, for example, substituting for fossil fuels and developing sources of renewable energy.”
Inspired by the Pope's call for climate action, and called to act by FERC's continued rubber-stamping of fracked gas projects like pipelines, compressor stations and export terminals, the BXE fast is in the great tradition of Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, Dave Dellinger and Bobby Sands. They plan to visit FERC every day, and refuse to accept any food or drink except water until September 25th, the day the Pope speaks at the United Nations in New York City, or FERC stops issuing new permits -- whichever comes first.
These brave climate warriors are risking their health, comfort and safety to stop any of our towns and communities from being sacrificed to fracked gas infrastructure. Sign here to stand in solidarity with them.
