Crowd at the rally against fracking

On January 9th, a demonstration was held in Albany against the Hydraulic Fracturing Industry (Fracking) and the possibility of it being legislatively approved in New York State. There will be a vote at the end of February when the current moratorium on fracking ends. (You can text "FRACK" to 69866 to ban fracking).

At the rally there were about 2000 people present against fracking. As well as a small group of approx 30 in support of it. Those against fracking were pushing for a statewide ban on it. The current moratorium (which will expire at the end of February) just postponed the decision of whether or not to allow the fracking industry into the state.

Here is a the first video I took of the largest cluster of demonstrators.
