Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy (GCCLP)

Today marks #Katrina17 and #Ida1. We hold and honor the lives lost, the communities displaced, and the workers impacted by these storms. Join us @taprootearth for #ClimateonTap to hear the wisdom of Teresa Fox Bettis @AL_FairHousing Register today: taproot.earth/climateontap

Indigenous, Black, frontline, rural and low wealth communities need more than climate investments and jobs, we need #climatejustice. Join @ndncollective and @TaprootEarth for a twitter space conversation reflecting on @POTUS recent EA's. Starting soon!

The storms have shown us that borders are not real. We need a movement that is unapologetic and multi-racial and calls for no new leases from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska. Join us. #ClimateJustice #WeChooseNow #GCCLP Follow us @TaprootEarth

We have some exciting news: @GCCLP has transitioned. We are now @TaprootEarth. We welcome you to the community.

UPDATE! The proposal deadline has been extended to August 1. *ALSO* @classcrits, in tandem with TapRoot Earth (@GCCLP), is now offering *40 Scholarships* to help defray expenses for attendance!

In the Gulf South is once again under threat as the Biden administrations 5-year plan for the Gulf of Mexico includes new leases. Livelihoods & ecosystems are at risk. SIGN OUR PETITION: bit.ly/NoNewLeasePeti… #NoNewLeases #WeChooseNow washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

The Five Year Plan is supposed to be released sometime today.

The SCOTUS has just limited the ability to address the climate crisis. We keep on organizing from the Gulf to Appalachia and demand an economy that works for all of us. #WVvEPA #WeChooseNow washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

Let's be clear: New lease sales will do NOTHING to offset high gas prices AND will only exacerbate the climate crisis. Be alert, friends, and keep following. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… #NoNewLeases #WeChooseNow #GCCLP

Our new analysis with @HealthyGulf & @GCCLP shows that ending federal offshore oil and gas lease sales in the next Five-Year Program would have less than a penny per gallon increase on gas prices over the next 19 years - @maxinejoselow ejus.tc/3y30ITb

This new report is clear: Saying no to oil and gas leasing in public waters and investing in justly sourced renewable energy is a win-win for the Gulf South. #NoNewLeases #WeChooseNow

It's time to end dirty energy production in our public waters. Check out this letter that 10 Senators sent to @Interior urging @POTUS to include #NoNewLeases in the next five-year plan. #WeChooseNow bit.ly/3QTnyFq

Now is our time to rise. Donate to your local abortion fund. Follow the lead of @BirthEquity @SisterSong_WOC @newvoicesrj @blkfemfuture #LiberateAbortion #WeChooseNow"

WE REMEMBER: this day the end of slavery was declared in confederate states. WE RESIST: the legacy of slavery & extraction of labor & communities that continued. WE RISE: understanding the road ahead is long & we need to keep on to achieve liberation. JUNE 19, 2022 #WeChooseNow

Check out this new report on why @POTUS should end fossil fuel leasing on public lands and in our public waters. It's time to follow through on campaign commitments to climate and environmental justice. #NoNewLeases #WeChooseNow collaborative.evergreenaction.com/policy-hub/mee…

After you read it, make sure you sign the petition to let the administration know you stand with the Gulf South and are ready for a transition to justly sourced renewable energy. gcclp.salsalabs.org/nonewleasespet…
