MAKE BIG OIL PAY!: March, Rally and Direct Action

A documentary of the Aug 30, 2010 march rally and nonviolent direct action in San Francisco against BP and Big Oil featuring Gulf Restoration Network organizer Jonathan Henderson, RIchmond, CA community leader Rev. Kenneth Davis, Rose Braz of the Center for Biological Diversity, The Tyranny of Oil author Antonia Juhasz, and Carl Perez of Movement Generation.

Big Oil Corporations destroy our health, environment and the livelihoods of our communities. From the Gulf Coast Oil disaster to the Niger Delta, from the Canadian Tar Sands to Richmond, California - these corporations pollute our communities and cause climate change, destroying the environments we depend on. Big Oil makes billions, while buying and lobbying governments for subsidies, against public oversight, and against solutions to climate change.

As BP tries to spin the ongoing Gulf of Mexico worst-environmental-disaster- in-US-history out of view, Gulf Coast communities ask us to keep the spotlight on and to increase the pressure for justice.

George Monbiot, author of Heat: how to stop the planet burning writes, "The oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon well is scarcely more damaging, and its eventual impacts scarcely more expensive, than the oil which is captured by neighboring rigs then processed and burnt as intended." As climate-related extreme weather disasters sweep the globe killing thousands and displacing millions, Amy Goodman writes, "The U.N. climate conference will convene in Cancun, Mexico, in December, where prospects for global consensus with binding commitments seem increasingly unlikely. Ultimately, policy in the United States, the greatest polluter in human history, must be changed. That will come only from people in the United States..."

Solutions to the problem will not come from neither beepee nor government. The only these two have done with their scheduled crises is to have initialized a new kind of awakened awareness, One that seeks to expose and get rid of this evil. Here a familiar pattern of people's awakening. First: the playful isolated protests, then people start to get more serious and movements grow, then with time, things get utterly serious and a flame starts, often forcefully extinguished. Thereafter all goes...
