Hello, Please sign on to this open letter to Obama from Gulf grassroots by 3pm CT today if you are a resident of FL, MS, AL, LA or TX. This letter is in response to the expected announcement that the Gulf remains for sale to the highest fossil fuel bidder, while the Arctic and Atlantic will be taken off the 5 year plan. You may sign on as an individual or an organization. We hope our national partners and allies will amplify this once it is released. We refuse to be a sacrifice zone any longer and hope you stand with us as we continue this struggle to protect our waters from New Orleans to Standing Rock. Water Is Life. One Fight. No DAPL. No Bayou Bridge. No New Leases. Gulf Grassroots Signers (as of 10:30am CT) Jennifer Crosslin, Steps Coalition, Biloxi, MS Jayeesha Dutta, Radical Arts and Healing Collective, New Orleans, LA Benjamin Franklin Craft-Rendon, Solidarity Houston, Houston, TX Mary Gutierrez, Earth Action, Inc., Pensacola, FL Yudith Nieto, The Community of Manchester, Houston, TX Ruth Story, Education, Economics, Environmental, Climate and Health Organization (EEECHO), Gulfport, MS Jessica R.Z.

Rapid sign-on: Gulf response to BOEM 5 Year Plan release

Dear (Still) President Obama, You know us and you know our stories. You know our tragedies, our disasters, and our peril - Katrina, Rita, the BP oil disaster, daily oil spills and all-too-regular fossil fuel related accidents. Not to mention, we’re losing a football field of wetlands an hour in Louisiana, caused by the combined impact of oil and gas infrastructure along with sea level rise due to climate change, eroding our first line of defense from increasingly strong storms. We are the frontline, grassroots communities of the Gulf Coast resisting the continued extraction of our land and our waters. And, we refuse to be a sacrifice zone for this country any longer. Your administration had the prescience to take the Arctic and the Atlantic off the table for oil and gas lease sales through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Are we not worth the same consideration? We believe our waters, our people, our cultures and our communities are worthy of these same protections. We, the people of the Gulf South, no longer stand for being the sacrificial zone for industry, for oil and gas exploration and drilling, coal extraction, deep-well injection, fracking and all other extractive activities that harm our environment, our communities and our cultures. We have spoken. No New Leases in the Gulf of Mexico. Hear us. We have a moral and ethical responsibility to change the trajectory we are on for the survival of our people and our planet. We do not know what the next years will bring us with a new climate-change denying administration. Right now, you could provide the Gulf South with a window of opportunity for a just transition to an environmentally sustainable and economically future. We need you, President Obama, in your last 100 days to stand with us and protect our precious Gulf Of Mexico and its people. We live at the front lines of climate change impacts and ground zero for extractive industry. Standing with us is standing for the future of our planet and generations to come. Water Is Life. Please, President Obama, declare No New Leases in the Gulf of Mexico.
