Gulf residents and folk musicians will share stories and song to expose the Real Gulf Story––the emerging human health impacts from BP’s disaster. Speakers and contributors will put the Real Gulf Story in the larger perspective of the true costs of America’s oil dependency, America’s energy options and future, and what ordinary people are doing to create self-reliant––and more democratic––communities. Doing Democracy workshops, held in conjunction with the national grassroots movement Move to Amend, shares practical skills on how to promote human-scale economies based on human values and how to re-establish rule by the people. Interactive. Inspiring. Motivating. Co-sponsored by Louisiana Bayoukeepers.
Our Goal is to ensure the outcome of the BP Gulf Disaster is not a return to the “old oil business as usual,” where corporate profits eclipse public health, worker safety, and environmental responsibility––and leave citizens feeling helpless and disenfranchised. We are seeking holistic solutions to a systemic problem to Change the Endgame.
