Thank you for joining others in our network to urge the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to deny the “wildcat” oil drilling proposal being considered in the heart of North Florida’s ecological jewel, the Apalachicola River floodplain.
This issue has reached a critical juncture: the judicial challenge to the DEP’s permit will be heard this coming Monday, making it the perfect time for concerned citizens to make their voices heard.
You’ll be joining local elected officials, conservationists, and concerned citizens at a press conference to respectfully remind Governor DeSantis that he can and should tell the DEP to rescind the permit and abandon this reckless plan to drill in the ecologically sensitive Apalachicola River Basin.
More background on this issue can be found on the Kill The Drill coalition website. Please bring your colleagues, friends, and family to take this crucial stand.
