John -

The fossil fuel industry has long treated the U.S. Gulf Coast as a
sacrifice zone, a place to put all their toxic, climate-destroying
production as though no one lives there.

That’s why on Friday, we helped kick off our month-long global
mobilization to power up a renewable future in New Orleans with “Power Up
in the Gulf,” united alongside dozens of our climate movement partners,
frontline activists, advocates, and talent from across the Gulf region to
say no more.

In solidarity with the resilience and joy of frontline Gulf communities,
Power Up in the Gulf highlighted the collective resistance against the
environmental impacts of methane gas production and exportation. The
discussions, enriched by the experiences and voices of those directly
affected, sent a clear message to Big Oil: The Gulf is not a sacrifice
zone.

The event was brought to life through the partnership with key
organizations such as the Vessel Project of Louisiana, Louisiana Bucket
Brigade, and Sunrise Movement New Orleans, among others, who were
instrumental in its success.

While our Power Up in the Gulf action is over, we’ll continue to mobilize
worldwide over the coming month to create a global drumbeat building up to
the UN climate talks, calling on world leaders to power up a renewable
energy revolution!

More soon,

Candice Fortin
