Boulder Colorado fracking ended for another 18 months due to protester and direct action influence [View all]

Today, the #Boulder county commissioners totally reversed their position on #fracking & extended the moratorium for another 18 months.

was very clear to those present at commissioner's meeting that they changed course bc they were scared by talk of recalls & direct action

Corporate versus civil rights. And if the entire system is only a concept of ownership, maybe a new system needs to be created.

We aren't going to stop and this is a direct challenge to corporate power. This is the beginning of a new civil rights movement.
