The Problem
We all deserve to breathe clean air, drink pure water, and raise our children without fear of toxic industries in our backyards. But right now, oil and gas facilities are permitted just 500 feet from our homes, schools, and hospitals. These operations have been linked to cancer, asthma, low birth weight and more in kids who grow up near them.
Our Solution
We have the power to take action and move these dangerous facilities further away from our families. Last year, Cecil Township residents came together to demand an increase in the buffer zone between fracking and homes to 2,500 feet within the township! Their victory is a blueprint which residents across Pennsylvania can use to win safer communities for their loved ones, no matter where they call home.

Who We Are
MAD-FACTS (Moms and Dads: Family Awareness Cancer Threat Spike) is a group of residents and families from Washington and Greene Counties impacted by the natural gas industry. MAD-FACTS advocates for greater protections against the natural gas industry until no more neighbors and family members experience the consequences of living near the infrastructure.
