MEDIA ADVISORY

Advocates will rally for a fracking ban, conservation funding, and more

On Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., more than 200 anti-fracking and conservation advocates from the Panhandle to Miami will rally ahead of a statewide lobby day.

State Rep. Kathleen Peters
State Rep. Ben Diamond
State Rep. Sean Shaw
