On the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Bay Localize and the Mobilization for Climate Justice stand together in solidarity with Gulf Coast communities hit hard by the BP oil catastrophe. It's time to Make Big Oil Pay!
On August 29-30, join thousands of friends and neighbors for creative actions, workshops, and popular demos to Make Big Oil Pay for rebuilding our communities, and funding clean energy and transit solutions.
DAY ONE:
Teach-In: Big Oil, Community Resilience and Nonviolent Direct Action - Sunday, August 29, 1-4 pm, at Frank Ogawa Plaza, Oakland
* Brief Teach-In on BP: Followed by,
* Nonviolent Direct Action Training
* Community Resilience Skills
DAY TWO:
March and Nonviolent Direct Action - Monday, August 30, 11:30 am, at Justin Herman Plaza (near Embarcadero BART), San Francisco.
* Join us for a march on BP and Big Oil's SF locations and those who choose to will risk arrest taking nonviolent direct action. We'll be targeting the offices of BP and Chevron for their roles in environmental and community destruction in the Gulf, in the Bay Area, and around the world. We'll also target the U.S. EPA to demand an end to the use of toxic dispersants, to follow the Clean Air Act that mandates they regulate the greenhouse gas pollution that causes climate change and stand up to industry pressure to expand drilling and prevent action to stop climate change.
* Speakers: Jonathan Henderson; Rev. Kenneth Davis; Antonia Juhasz; Rebecca Solnit; Carla Pérez; and Dave Room.
