Friend --

Are you outraged by the poisoning of our communities at the hands of the fracking & fossil fuel companies?

Does it seem like a ludicrous plan to double down our dependency on climate disrupting dirty fuels?

Does the idea of building a fracked gas export facility with over 2,000 homes and 19 in-home daycare centers within the two-mile evacuation radius of the site leave you in disbelief over the failure of regulatory and government agencies to protect the well being of the public?
Let's take direct action to protect all that would be endangered if this fracked gas export facility was allowed to be built.Register Today for the Cove Point Spring Break Action Camp March 6-14th in Southern Maryland! <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cove-point-spring-break-tickets-20935121512?ref=eweb>

We Are Cove Point, SEED, the Backbone Campaign and others are organizing Cove Point Spring Break, March 6-14, in Southern Maryland. This camp is meant to be an alternative spring break to connect attendees to the really important work being done to protect people and ecosystems from the Cove Point liquefied natural gas export terminal under construction in Lusby, Maryland, and also from natural gas infrastructure projects that communities are resisting throughout the mid-Atlantic.

We want you there!

Cove Point Spring Break will be a unique opportunity to bring together college students, seasoned activists from around the east coast, and community members who are facing the impacts of these projects.

The camp will feature workshops and panels designed to give attendees a fuller understanding of what people are facing and how to more successfully win campaigns to protect the lives and well-being of our communities. Additionally, there will be trainings on direct action skills that will include climbing, blockades, de-escalation, knowing your rights, etc.

We're also proud to include a full kayaktivism component put on by the Backbone Campaign. (See https://vimeo.com/139849310 for more information about kayaktivism and what the Backbone Campaign has done with it in the northwest.)

Please help spread the word about this to anyone you think may be interested. More information about the camp is at covepointspringbreak.org <http://www.covepointspringbreak.org> and the Facebook event page here <https://www.facebook.com/events/1544556029189202/>.
