We haven't formally launched yet, but this issue — the state permitting oil and gas companies to dump (nominally) treated fracking fluid and produced water on Texas farmland and next to creeks and rivers — was egregious enough that we started early.
If you think Texas has the potential to not suck — to have clean water, ample swimming holes, cheap pollution-free energy, and a political system not controlled by people wrecking our future for personal gain — check out our new campaign at Future Heist.
