The escalating battle over fracking in California just got a whole lot funnier.

Movement Generation and The Other 98% produced What the Frack in partnership with the Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment. The project features comedian Kristina Wong and singer Hector Flores from Las Cafeteras alongside community leaders Juan Flores, Lupe Martinez, and Anabel Marquez who are on the frontlines of the fracking crisis in California’s Central Valley. I had the pleasure of co-producing and co-writing the series, and of course my main director Yvan Iturriaga made us all look (relatively) pretty.
Eight videos in all, What the Frack tackles the biggest concerns and controversies about fracking in California. The series highlights how fracking is exacerbating California’s devastating drought, contaminating our food, aggravating racism against Latino communities, putting us at a greater risk of earthquakes…and even exposing Gov. Brown’s oily connection to Dick Cheney.
“We have marched, rallied, and even filed a civil rights lawsuit against Gov. Brown to demand he bans fracking, and now these videos are taking our campaign to a whole new level,” said Juan Flores, a community leader in Kern Country against fracking and performer in the videos. “Crazy comedy plus serious organizing: this is how we’ll ban fracking in California!”
