/in , , , , /by

Physicians for Social Responsibility is publishing an important report entitled Fracking with “Forever Chemicals.”  The report presents previously unpublicized evidence that major oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil and Chevron, have used per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or substances that could degrade into PFAS, in hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) for oil and gas in more than 1,200 wells in six U.S. states.  One of those states is New Mexico.
Citizens Caring for the Future, an IPL-NM/EP affiliate, invites you to a virtual webinar to examine the the report and present information from local PSR experts.   Read PSR Report

Members of First Unitarian Church, Albuquerque; Albuquerque Mennonite, Laudato Si Movement, Loredo; and others from El Paso, Los Lunas and Albuquerque participated with Interfaith Power and Light and Citizens Caring for the Future in an Immersion Retreat experience March 23-25 in the Permian Basin, New Mexico. They prayed, reflected, listened to frontline community members in Carlsbad, Jal, and Hobbs and committed to deeper solidarity and action with neighbors in the Permian to address methane pollution, economic inequity and worker concerns and climate change.  IPL offers these experience a few times throughout the year. The next ones will be in the fall.
