Across Pennsylvania, there are thousands of shale stories from people just like you. Small businesses that survived the recession, local non-profits that are assisting neighbors in need, and families that have thrived because of the new jobs and economic opportunity that comes from shale.  These stories are the reason why we created United Shale Advocates- to let your voice be heard by the politicians and policy makers.

With the General Assembly preparing to decide critical public policy issues like Governor Wolf’s proposed new energy taxes, including the severance tax, we want to make sure your story gets told- and heard- by the decision makers. On the form below, you can tell us how shale gas production in Pennsylvania has helped you, your family and your community.

The best way to tell your story is in your own words- with a short video or a picture. On the Shale Stories page you can see examples of citizens speaking about the positive effects of the shale economy and how it has benefited local businesses and families. We’ll pass your Shale Story on to your state legislators and send you a copy of your submission. So let your voice be heard- submit your Shale Story today!
