Songs Against Drilling

Those of you who were there know what an incredible event our All-Star rally and benefit concert on May 15th was. The moving, motivational night of music and action was a wonderful coming-together of artists, activists, scientists and public health experts, all calling on Governor Cuomo to ban fracking in New York State. But the highlight was the music, with artists such as Natalie Merchant, Joan Osborne and Medeski Martin & Wood rallying the Empire State Plaza crowd with songs of urgency and defiance, optimism and hope.

Feeling bummed that you missed the show? Cheer up! The filmmaker Alex Gibney captured the entire event and has released a six-minute film documenting the concert and rally at Gov. Cuomo’s office beforehand. The film is being featured on the New York Times website – watch it now!
