The Rev. Billy performs at a rally in Washington Square Park in New York on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 against proposed hydraulic fracturing in New York State, on the first anniversary of the Deep Water Horizon Spill . The demonstrators contend that the hydraulic fracturing of the watershed caused by drilling for natural gas has been linked to leaks, spills and contamination when it has been employed in other states and they fear for the integrity and purity of the city's drinking water.
