Stand up – Speak out – Be heard!
Spill into Washington DC
–a national rally–
“Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment and learn again to exercise his will — his personal responsibility.” — Albert Schweitzer
Why Rally?
Join for us two days of rallying against BP and the regulatory failures that contributed to the largest oil disaster in American history. In addition, we will honor the loss of life, as well as the land and sea most directly impacted by the explosion and its aftermath. The quest for oil has influenced international relations to the extent of war. We will tell our government and the corporate world that we will not stand idly by while the powerful spin our world out of control. It is time to address the disasters that companies like BP, and the banking industry, mete upon the entire world, with regularity, and without regard for the destruction they create. For two days families and individuals, of all political backgrounds, will peacefully come together, with ONE VOICE, to unite in our common struggle against abusive power. See the transportation page for lodging, ridesharing options, and maps of the nation’s capitol.

Carpooling and Ridesharing is a proven way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming. By simply consolidating passengers into fewer vehicles, we can save on fuel costs and drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions without serious changes or investments to our transportation infrastructure. Consider a carpooling option through Ride Buzz!
