BP Oil Disaster Protest - May 28, 2010

100's of Artists and Activists Condemn Oil Spill At Manhattan BP Station. The start of something much much larger. Protesters in New York City descended on a BP gas station in SoHo on Friday and demanded a boycott of the oil company. We, the Citizens of The United States of America, stand in solidarity with the State of Louisiana and the entire Gulf of Mexico, demanding an urgent resolve of this Extraordinary Crisis. We demand ACTION and ANSWERS, RESTITUTION and PROTECTION and we want it NOW! There’s growing anger at both BP and the federal government regarding the Gulf oil catastrophe; three-quarters of Americans think that BP has muffed the response and — are you listening, President Obama?

The group condemned BP for its response to the oil spill and the damage company is causing to the environment. Some carried protest signs and covered themselves with chocolate syrup and black food coloring to mimick the crude that's washing up along the Gulf Coast.

 

BP: Spill Could Be 10 Times Current Estimate

The oil giant BP has privately conceded the size of its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico could be ten times greater than current estimates. The New York Times reports a senior BP executive told a closed-door Congressional briefing that a ruptured oil well could be spewing as many 60,000 barrels of oil a day. The expanding oil slick meanwhile has hit the shores of Louisiana’s Chandeleur islands, a wildlife refuge 60 miles from New Orleans.

 

BP stations are all across the United States and Europe.

Protest your local BP Gas Stations regularly and let your voice be heard by BP and most importantly the US Governement.
