Anti-fracking activists are laying down on the job — literally. This litter of bodies in front the governor’s chambers are part of the large protest that was slated for later today, but which we hear may be moved inside the Capitol due to rain. It’s part of an afternoon/evening long event topped off with a concert and celebrity activists at the Egg.
Hovering above the inert clean suit wearing protestors was a woman wailing about the harm and potential health problems that they say fracking could lead to, while another woman was singing that “It’s not nice to block the walkway.”
Reminiscent of the gay marriage rallies and protests that took place almost a year ago, State Police were there making sure there was a clear walkway through the area.
