Friends: Saturday, 100 people gathered in New Orleans for the Gulf EMERGENCY Summit.
We heard from people affected by the catastrophe, from people with expertise, passion, and ideas. We united on initial steps. Reports will be on gulfemergencysummit.org soon. On Sunday, participants went to Grand Isle Louisiana to view the oily shores and were able to speak with clean-up workers.

Local activists helping on the Gulf Emergency Summit urge that the stories of the people out in the parishes, the bayous; the fisher people, Native Americans, those who work in the oil drilling industry, the scientists who have experience and ideas -- all who are NOT being listened to -- finally be heard. People speaking for the effect on wildlife, including that which cannot be seen from shore...they also are voices which we must hear.

On April 20th, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon left 17 workers injured and 11 missing and presumed dead. Oil is spewing from a well 5000 feet below sea level, discharging 200,000 gallons of crude oil a day according to the official estimate. It is estimated that more than 6 million gallons of crude oil have poured into the Gulf so far.
