Light Up The Delaware River Party

 

How you can help the cause:

  • Alert your local media about our the 9-6-09 (Labor Day Sunday) ";Light Up The Delaware River" Party.   (Media websites always have email addresses where you can send press releases and news tidbits. Feel free to copy & paste any text from the CottageWorks Events page, Light Up The Delaware River Party or  Breathing Is Political.)
  • Donate to Damascus Citizens for Sustainability  http://www.damascuscitizens.org/donate.html 
    they have hired one of the top environmental legal teams in the country to fight this cause.
  • Forward this information to your friends and family so they can...
  • Help you distribute the invitations door-to-door or in front of your local post offices or wherever else  people gather in your community.
  • Forward it with this email to all the river-lovers, water-lovers, community organizers, environmental groups, outdoors clubs  and media you know.
  • Organize  a  Light Up Celebration  in your community.  (One group is  sponsoring  a  "Toxic Canoe Regatta,"  but whatever you plan, do it on the banks of the River.)
  • Contact us here to have your event posted. 
  • Tell  your friends and relatives that they can follow party plans at Twitter,  Breathing Is Political and The Catskill Chronicle.
  • Get fact sheets and a slew of other helpful resources from  Damascus Citizens for Sustainability. While you're there,  sign up to support  the hard work DCS  has been doing on behalf of the Basin for more than eighteen months.  In large part, DCS is the reason there’s still a battle to win.
Fifteen million people depend on The Delaware River Basin for their water. It's critical that this Labor Day  we focus national attention on the  dangers posed to it by drilling and fracking.    We need as many people and media as possible to gather  along the banks of the River on September 6, 2009 to celebrate the  works of the River, its culture and its people.

The evening of the party, at  7:00 PM,  each person  in each community will pour a single cup of water into the River.  At  7:30 PM,  we'll light our candles -- a 330-mile long beacon  -- from Hancock to Philadelphia.
