Sign Our Petition Today for a Sensible, Long Term Gulf Coast Recovery Plan
Why this petition matters
Five years after Hurricane Katrina made landfall and the New Orleans levees failed, the city is on the rise thanks to the fierce determination and spirit of its residents. Yet there is so much work to be done, and so many who still want to return home.
The BP oil disaster has devastated communities and the livelihoods of countless more Gulf Coast residents, many of whom are still rebuilding after hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike and Gustav.
Take Action Today to support the Gulf Coast.
President Obama appointed Navy Secretary Ray Mabus to develop a Gulf Coast Recovery plan. The Alliance Institute has partnered with Oxfam America, the Gulf Coast Fund, Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation, and over 100 other groups at the forefront of Gulf Coast recovery to release a blueprint for the long term recovery that calls for community-based, democratic, equitable and green solutions to the ongoing crises in the region.
Support the people of the Gulf Coast by urging the Obama Administration to equally value communities, environment and economic welfare in its Gulf Coast recovery plan.
Send a letter today to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus who is developing the plan in the aftermath of the BP oil spill and Hurricane Katrina. Ask him to adopt the recommendations of the new report "One Gulf, Resilient Gulf".
