This Monday (the 12th), from 1-5pm, Tar Sands Blockade will be
throwing a community outreach BBQ at Hartman Park (9311 E. Ave. P
Houston, TX 77012) in the Manchester neighbourhood of Houston.
Manchester is a neighbourhood surrounded by refineries & industrial
pollution, and thanks in part to the local Valero refinery, one of the
most polluted areas in Texas
(http://www.chron.com/news/article/Chronicle-cross-county-study-reveal...).
Valero will be refining 75% of the Keystone tar sands, so Manchester's
troubles will only worsen.
There will be music, potluck, and a kid friendly atmosphere. If you're
able to attend or would like to help, please reply to this message or
email me at veryloud...@gmail.com

Thank you everyone who managed to support the outreach bbq today. Extra
thanks to Madeleine for getting the word out & thus assuring a good supply
of food.

Yes, Thanks! That was a really great way for me to learn what is happening
right at my back door and my kids LOVED the hang out opportunity. Severo
said, "Mom! There's a BUNCH o' ninos!" We are excited to do it again! I
can bring some food or something. Blankets for the people who don't have
enough clothes. . .

You are very welcome, Alice. Jim and I enjoyed cooking the hot dogs and hamburgers while meeting your neighbors! I am glad that we are all working together!
