 Localize, and co-host Local Clean Energy Alliance are back with Movies that 
 Mobilize II! We will be showing The Sky is Pink by Gasland's 
 writer/director Josh Fox at the Arbor Cafe. Our purpose for these film 
 series is to inspire, inform, share and catalyze discussion on strategies 
 for the climate justice movement. Through community building we can support 
 ourselves, each other, and mobilize toward resilient action to meet our 
 needs equitably. Whether you just want to see a good film, enjoy good

 Linden Street Brewery in Oakland for donating a 5.2 gallon keg!\n\nThis is 
 a FREE event, and seating capacity is limited to 70 
 people.\n\nTransportation:\nThe Arbor Cafe (MAP) is a prime location easily 
 accessible by BART (walking distance from MacArthurdBART), bus (1R), bike 
 (plenty of bike parking inside and outside). Street parking is available 
 though limited, and we encourage carpooling.\n\nAbout The Sky is Pink:\nIn 
 The Sky is Pink, Josh Fox takes the possibility of New York state passing 
 legislationto allow fracking as the starting point to revisit some related 
 issues and go into depth on some others. A powerful point he makes comes 
 back to the safety of the fracking processs. While pressured water gets 
 injected into the ground to release the gas, that water contains a variety 
 of chemicals as well. For an outside example, a 2011 report from the 
 Democratic Committee on Energy & Commerce listed chemicals such as benzene 
 and methanol, as well as citric acid, instant coffee, and salt. While the 
 coffee and salt might not seem so bad, the benzene has been linked to 
 cancer. Further, the report inidcated that some chemicals remain unknown or 
 unreleased due to "proprietary reasons."\n\nThe fracking process happens 
 through cement-encased wells, which in theory should hold these chemicals 
 apart from the surrounding environment. In The Sky is Pink, Fox cites 
 sevral documents from the industry itself that show how the cement around 
 the wells sometimes fails to contain the chemicals. As a result, these 
 chemicals end up in the water supply, contaminating it and posing dangers 
 to those receiving it in their homes and drinking it. (Source: PBS)\n
