"There’s still oil on our coast. I saw it two weeks ago, I touched it, I smelled it. It’s still causing massive die offs with dolphins, sea turtles, crustaceans and fish. It’s causing public health issues. I’m here to tell everyone this problem is still here one year later. The beaches are still oiled. They’re trying to “make it right” by paying off the community, but it’s still destroyed. The fisheries are damaged. There’s no money in, people still don’t trust the seafood. They’re not paying up for their damages."

"ThinkProgress has learned that Power Shift 2011 participants are mobilizing to stage protests across the nation on Wednesday, April 20, to boycott and shut down BP gas stations in their communities to tell President Obama to make BP pay to restore the Gulf."
