Picture this: a baby sea turtle pokes through its eggshell. But scooting over the sand, oil coats its tiny body. The water isn't any safer. A Big Oil offshore drilling rig has spilled, contaminating water for local communities, exacerbating public health crises, and dooming this poor baby sea turtle. You have just 2 MORE DAYS to help keep Big Oil out of the Gulf! Act now! Offshore pipeline leak rates are 10x HIGHER in the Gulf than the national rate. And oil spill fumes can cause respiratory problems and pneumonia for people living nearby. Yet the Department of Interior is prepared to finalize a plan guaranteeing fossil fuel development in the Gulf, risking community health. With 2 DAYS LEFT, we need 56 more people from Friend to tell the DOI: NO Big Oil leases in the Gulf! Big Oil has a long history of extracting the Gulf's resources while making empty promises that the region will see wealth and opportunity in exchange. Instead, Big Oil has treated the Gulf as a sacrificial zone, bringing poisoned air, water, and the looming threat of oil spills. Gulf communities and wildlife need less Big Oil pollution, not more. But if the DOI doesn't hear from enough people, the health of Gulf communities, marine habitats, and endangered sea turtles are at risk. Friend, help prioritize Gulf communities and wildlife over Big Oil profits by 11:59pm TONIGHT! Standing with you,
