The oil and gas industry is one of the biggest sources of methane pollution, a dangerous climate pollutant that also harms the health of our communities. But behind every statistic are real people, families, and neighborhoods dealing with the impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re inviting people like you to share your story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019ve experienced the health impacts of living near oil and gas sites, or you simply believe that protecting our air and climate is the right thing to do, your voice matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your story can help hold decision-makers accountable, push for stronger protections, and show the human side of this issue. Together, we can fight back against attacks on common-sense methane pollution safeguards and demand action to keep our air clean and our communities safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short, direct-to-camera video is one of the most powerful ways to share your message. Just grab your phone, find a quiet space with good lighting, and speak from the heart. Your video can be as simple as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hi, my name is [Name], I live in [Community\/State], and methane pollution is impacting families like mine. I want our leaders to protect our air and health, not roll back protections for the oil and gas industry.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Videos can be just 30 seconds long. Speak clearly, be yourself, and know your voice makes a difference.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
