Artists Against Fracking: New anthem - "Don't Frack my Mother"

Artists Against Fracking have come up with a new musical video to convince Governor Cuomo of New York State to ensure that the moratorium on fracking passes and continues way past the current two-year mark.


To celebrate the progress made so far in the fight against fracking, with New York State Assembly passing a two-year moratorium on fracking in the state, Sean Lennon has written a little ditty.

"Don't Frack My Mother" is the new anthem of the anti-fracking movement. The fight is not yet over, as the bill still has to pass the State Senate, to then get signed into law by Governor Cuomo, so there is a definite need to keep up the pressure.

Interested parties can tweet Governor Cuomo to remind him why fracking is such a bad idea and share the song with him.

You may recognize a few of the faces in the video - you will see that by sharing the video and sending a tweet to Governor Cuomo, you are in very good company!

Just in case, below is a list of the artists who have contributed: 

Adrian Grenier, Alexa Chung, Ben Lee, Carrie Fisher, Daniel Pinchbeck, Devendra Banhart, Fred Armisen, Ione Skye, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Fox, Liv Tyler, Lindsey Wixson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Mark Ronson, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Michael Skolnik, Natasha Lyonne, Penn Badgley, Reggie Watts, Sean Lennon, Susan Sarandon, Yoko Ono, Zoƫ Kravitz.
