🧵 Yesterday, activists with @ActionClimatePA, Ohio Valley Environmental Resistance, & @sunrisemvmtpgh were at @CulturalTrust’s annual EQT Children’s Theater Festival to inform the public about the criminal fracking corporation EQT & its role in poisoning communities in PA & WV.
Happy Monday in Harrisburg ‼️ Today at 10am the House State Government Committee will be voting on a HISTORIC anti-corruption bill: HB2433 would ban foreign billionaires and corporations from political spending in Pennsylvania! #EndPACorruption

NEVER FORGET: Rich Fitzgerald took fossil fuel money bribes, fought against the public to keep fracking under our parks, and helped push through Shell’s disastrous plastic factory in Monaca. His leadership helped keep SWPA a sacrifice zone under criminal corporation control.
Amazing how willing Shapiro is to chat with the press on a bike trail, but when everyday citizens come to HIS OFFICE to speak with him they are met with armed police and arrested if they refuse to leave.
Interviewed Pa. Gov Josh Shapiro today in Ohiopyle while riding bikes. He never stopped riding, so we talked on the go. Discussed PA’s new tourism plan, NFL draft to Pittsburgh, proposed US Steel sale, and President Biden. Stay tuned for the full story later at @TribLIVE
@CulturalTrust it is shameful that you allow @EQTCorp to claim they care about children while their fracking operations put children at 5-7x greater risk of lymphoma. Drop EQT as a sponsor for the Children's Theater Festival now.
You can help right now by direct messaging @CulturalTrust to tell them to drop EQT as a sponsor. You can also help organize against climate inaction & corruption and join @ActionClimatePA!

The @CulturalTrust has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from EQT and has allowed them to be the presenting sponsor of the Children’s Theater Festival for years. 💰💰💰🤢
Please Don't Arrest Us. We Come Bearing Sports Tickets.
Well, we didn't get arrested, but we didn't get to hand-deliver our letter calling for a ban on road spreading signed by 66 organizations and more than 100 individuals. The guard said he'd do it. 🧵

.@GovernorShapiro - #WANGA - we aren't going away. AND we will EXPOSE YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE - infiltrator, industry and self servant (NOT a public servant), CORRUPT, an advocate of #StateSanctionedViolence, a liar and abuser to the people of this #Commonwealth, a coward.
@GovernorShapiro Please elaborate on how you are cutting costs for us because everything is going up except my income.Your agendas and greed along with our entire government’s greed and corruption are destroying this countryWe are beyond disgusted by the corruption and will no longer tolerate it
My energy plan cuts costs for Pennsylvanians, tackles climate change, and creates good-paying energy jobs in the process.
Let’s invest in our clean energy future and work together to write a new chapter of energy leadership for our Commonwealth.
Their sign alludes to ongoing reporting by @SpotlightPA on the Governor’s acceptance of tickets to sports games. A few weeks ago, a handful of climate activists were arrested outside the Governor’s office in similar circumstances https://t.co/qv3RIFYIdT
A group of grassroots climate activists (@BetterPathPA) just headed through the Capitol building to PA Governor Josh Shapiro’s office to deliver a letter calling for a ban on the practice of road spreading of waste from conventional oil and gas wells
