Sign here to stand up to fracking in the Everglades with our friends at Progress Florida.

The Texas oil company Dan Hughes Co. was caught illegally fracking near the Everglades last month and public outcry continues to grow. Our friends at Progress Florida need your help to ensure that Hughes Co. faces serious consequences for its actions, not just a slap on the wrist from Gov. Rick Scott’s administration.

Join thousands of Floridians to demand that Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Herschel Vinyard revoke all drilling permits for Hughes Co. and set a strong example against fracking in Florida.

Since Progress Florida’s campaign launched last month, momentum has been building for Hughes Co. to be held accountable. The Collier County Commission unanimously approved a resolution calling on the DEP to revoke Hughes Co.’s permit¹. Sen. Bill Nelson has called for federal investigators to look into the activities of Hughes Co². It’s clear DEP is responding to the pressure by forcing Hughes Co. to shut down a second well close to where the first violation occurred³.

We can’t let Hughes Co. get away with what they’ve done. Join thousands of your fellow Floridians in demanding the DEP revoke the company’s drilling permit.

Thanks for standing up for our land and water.

For Florida,

Jesse and the team at Enviromental Action
