“Resisting the Expansion of Frac Sand Mining

A Regional Conversation”

Participate in a Cross-County

Collaboration and Networking Opportunity

Join other organizers and activists around the REGION to:

• Develop regional damage control strategies

• Minimize the impact of the “Divide and Conquer” approach used by sand mine companies

• Compare notes on effective approaches to educating and organizing communities

• Establish ongoing regional networking and collaboration structures

The session will be facilitated by ToP (Technology of Participation) certified facilitators designed to engage a group in participatory planning and decision making.

Other potential conversation topics:

• What are emerging trends in Sand Mining?

• What tools do we have working for us?

• What factors are working against us?

• What resources do we need to stay in the game/be effective in staying on top of or ahead of the Sand Mine Companies?
