You don't need to live in New Mexico to help.
#FrackOffChaco is a solidarity campaign to stop fracking in Greater Chaco. We encourage participation and action during the 60-day public scoping period ending on Dec, 20th, 2016.
Find out how: http://www.frackoffchaco.org/#action
Frack Off Greater Chaco is a collaborative effort between Indigenous community leaders, Native groups, nonprofits, and public lands and water protectors across the southwest and the country working to stop fracking in Greater Chaco.
If you take an action like calling, writing or want to organize an event outside an office, please LET US KNOW so we can put you on our map of people who did something in solidarity.

The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Farmington Field Office and the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ (BIA) Navajo Regional Office is undergoing an amendment to BLM's 2003 Resource Management Plan (RMP) to analyze fracking impacts in the Greater Chaco area. (The process is reopened for official public comment until December 20, 2016.)
91% of our public lands in Northwest New Mexico are already leased to oil and gas development, with over 40,000 wells. Now, new forms of industrialized fracking development threatens to further fragment the landscape and pollute our air and water resources, endangering the environment and local Navajo communities.
Much of the last 9% of unleased land is in Greater Chaco. The BLM admits to never analyzing the impacts of fracking across this landscape and is actively amending its office-wide resource management plan in response. Yet, BLM continues leasing public land and approving fracking in the region with more than 365 new wells and counting on tribal and public lands, as well as new pipelines and other infrastructure.
We're calling on supporters to target New Mexico Congressional district offices (especially Senator Udall), BLM field offices, and demonstrate or pray for all that is worth protecting. Meet with officials, send letters, take pictures, rally, and interrupt. Any action is a great action! Please host or attend an event so we can showcase broad support to Frack Off Greater Chaco.
