Protecting Southern Illinois
Southern Illinoisans Against Fracturing Our Environment (SAFE) is a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting the people, communities, water, land, and natural resources of Southern Illinois from the impacts of fracking and oil and gas development.
SAFE grew from the determination of local residents who recognized that decisions about energy development could have lasting consequences for the region we call home. We bring together concerned citizens, community members, advocates, and volunteers who believe Southern Illinois deserves a strong voice in decisions affecting its future.
Our work is rooted here. We pay attention to what is happening in our communities, help people understand complicated environmental and regulatory issues, share reliable information, and encourage Southern Illinoisans to participate in decisions that affect them.
Over the years, the issues facing our region have changed, but SAFE’s commitment has not. We continue to watch developments involving fracking, oil and gas extraction, water protection, and related environmental threats—and to speak up when Southern Illinois’ interests are at stake.
A Local Voice for Southern Illinois
SAFE believes the people who live here should have a meaningful voice in protecting the places they call home. Whether we are sharing information, following a permit or proposed development, participating in the public process, or bringing people together around an emerging threat, our focus remains Southern Illinois.
Our Land. Our Water. Our Fight.
