Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Gulf Gathering for Climate Justice and Joy

This gathering was just the beginning. Now it’s time take all of the joy we experienced and channel it into creating the hopeful futures still possible for our region. You can get started today by joining the Gulf South for a Green New Deal formation.

On June 4th residents from across the Gulf South converged on Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the Gulf Gathering for Climate Justice and Joy.

Over a thousand Texans, Louisianans, Mississippians, Floridians, and Alabamans came together to celebrate the hopeful futures that are still possible for the places we call home and to develop strategies to realize them.

 

We celebrated the Gulf South & the hopeful future of this place we call home.

 

No False Promises

For too long, oil and gas companies have avoided accountability and undermined climate action by offering false promises. They promise to reduce carbon emissions using unproven and harmful technologies in a bid to deepen our dependence on fossil fuels.

We don’t need false promises. We need real climate action. And if those of us who cherish and celebrate the Gulf South come together, we can win it.
