Yesterday, we delivered your name and more than 234,000 others to the White House in a powerful demonstration of what "Beyond Petroleum" really looks like.1
And the Obama administration is listening: they've announced a new moratorium on offshore drilling2 and are considering breaking up the inefficient regulators who let BP get away with running this unsafe rig in the first place.3
But there's bad news too: All attempts to contain the gusher in the Gulf have failed. And changes in the weather are pushing more oil toward the coast, threatening more wildlife, people and livelihoods.4
We need BP to clean up the mess they've made of the Gulf Coast and need Congress to follow the president's lead by ending offshore drilling and moving us toward a clean-energy economy.
So TrueMajority, Sierra Club and 1Sky members are fanning out at local BP stations all over America to bring this issue home to our communities. And you can help! Here's how:

So TrueMajority, Sierra Club and 1Sky members are fanning out at local BP stations all over America to bring this issue home to our communities. And you can help! Here's how:
1. Print a sign that reads "NO MORE DRILLING. CLEAN ENERGY NOW."
2. Take a picture of yourself with the sign in front of a nearby gas station (preferably a BP), using your cellphone or digital camera.
3. Send us your picture, and tell us where it was taken. We'll match it to your local members of Congress and deliver it next week.

That's it! Three easy steps to send one powerful message. Click here to get started today.
Your signature has already been delivered to the White House, and they're moving in the right direction. But we need to take it up a notch if we're going to hold BP accountable and move Congress too.
We can't allow BP to get off the hook for this mess with just a slap on the wrist. And we can't allow Congress to keep dragging its feet on policies that will end our addiction to oil and other dirty fuels for good.
And since a picture is worth a thousand words, we're teaming up with some great partners to send a message to Congress that's worth more than we can ever write.
But we can't do it without you. So take a second to send us your photo from a local gas station that tells Congress to stop drilling and start building a clean-energy future. Together, we'll make a tapestry of images that can stop the next drilling disaster before it happens.
