OCCUPY EARTH DAY Sun 4/22 in New York City
Jazz Funeral for the death of Earth
Sunday, April 22nd 12pm to 4pm
Jazz Funeral for the Death of Earth
Line up at 11:45 am for the 2nd line Jazz funeral>
12pm Noon BP Gas Station, 300 Lafayette St (@ Houston)
Occupy Earth Day begins with a jazz funeral march for the Gulf Coast led by the
Rude Mechanical Orchestra and commemorating the anniversary of the BP Deep
Water Horizon oil spill, which began on April 20, 2010.
1pm Union Square
We will arrive at Union Square, for a rally to reclaim Earth Day from corporate
greenwashers and bringing it back to its radical roots. We will hear from voices
involved in a variety of interlocking eco-struggles both local and global, including
Gulf Coast recovery, tar sands, fracking, nuclear power and genetically modified
food. At Union Square we will spotlight movements fighting to ensure ecocide like
that unleashed on the Gulf by BP never happens again. In the face of our mounting
biophysical crisis we need renewable energy. We need a system that values
ecosystems not profits.
2:30 The Highline @ Gansevoort and West Street
From Union Square we march to the spot of the proposed Spectra Pipeline, a
fracked gas pipeline Texas Eastern Transmission wants to build in the West Village.
A recent well leak off the coast of Scotland, currently spewing 200,000 cubic meters
of gas a day, is already drawing comparisons to the Deep Water Horizon. We need
to move away from these dirty, deadly and ecocidal forms of energy and towards a
sustainable world.
