Citizens across the country are taking to the streets tomorrow night with a Critical Mass style procession entitled the "Krewe of Dead Pelicans." The protest will serve as a voice for the country's outrage over the biggest oil spill in U.S. history, namely BP's lack of response -- the leak could continue until August, their reporting of allegedly false spill estimates, their continual efforts to block the media from accessing the spill sites, and the government's unwillingness to hold the company accountable.
Worse yet, it's been reported that BP’s Atlantis platform, located about 150 miles from New Orleans at a water depth of more than 7,000 feet, is currently being operated without proper up-to-date and engineer-approved documentation. If an accident were to occur at Atlantis, the spill would be many times larger than the one occurring at Deepwater Horizon.
Participants at tomorrow's protest are being asked to dress in all black and meet at Justin Herman Plaza at 5 p.m.
