Rally to Reclaim Earth Day!

First Course: 12Noon BP Gas Station, 300 Lafayette St, New York, NY
Occupy Earth Day begins with a second line funeral march for the Gulf Coast commemorating the anniversary of the BP Deep Water Horizon oil spill in 2010.

Second Course: 1pm Union Square
We will rally at Union Square, reclaiming Earth Day from corporate greenwashers and bringing it back to its radical roots. We will here from voices involved in a variety of interlocking eco-struggles both local and global, from the tar sands to fracking, from nuclear power to genetically modified food. At Union Square we will spotlight movements fighting to ensure ecocide like that unleashed on the Gulf by BP never happens again. In the face of our mounting biophysical crisis we need renewable energy. We need a system that values ecosystems not profits.

Dessert: 2:30PM Union Square
From Union we march to the spot of the proposed Spectra Pipeline. A fracked gas pipeline Texas Eastern Transmission wants to build in the West Village. A recent well leak off the coast of Scotland, currently spewing 200,000 cubic meters of gas a day, is already drawing comparisons to the Deep Water Horizon. We need to move away from these dirty, deadly and ecocidal forms of energy and towards a sustainable world. Speakers List:
