PA: Municipal Ordinance Project Resident Working Group

Join Food & Water Watch’s **Municipal Ordinance Project (MOP)** organizers for a resident-led working group focused on using **Pennsylvania-specific** local zoning laws to protect our environment, health, and neighborhoods. We’ll explore how **Pennsylvania-specific** municipal zoning and land-use ordinances can help keep harmful industries out of our communities — and how everyday people like you can lead the charge. Working group meetings can include: * Q&A with experienced MOP organizers * Time to connect and strategize with your neighbors * Info on how local governments can use zoning to protect residents from threats like fracking, pipelines, heavy industry, and more. * Trainings on topics such as how to read/write ordinances, or how to build and leading a local ordinance campaign Whether you're a long-time advocate or just getting started, this is your chance to plug into a powerful local movement, supported by the team behind some of the most effective grassroots zoning victories in Pennsylvania! **After you RSVP, please review the "How to Prepare" section of your confirmation email that contains pertinent background info on PA zoning that'll better prepare you for our meeting together!** *Please note: This working group is intended for residents and local grassroots organizers who are interested in working within their own municipality or county to advance zoning or ordinance-based protections. If you're not sure whether this applies to you, feel free to attend and ask!*
