WHERE'S THE OIL? THE DISPERSANT? IS SEAFOOD SAFE? WHY ARE RESIDENTS SICK?

In independent testing, residents of the Gulf Coast are testing positive for chemicals associated with the Gulf Oil Disaster. Seafood is showing high levels of cancer-causing hydrocarbons and other substances . What does this mean for all of us along the Coast?

Stop the Gulf Oil Disaster (stopgulfoildisaster.org) is presenting the first in a series of forums called Truth-Out for the Gulf, focused on how the Deepwater Disaster is affecting our health and daily life. There will be other forums during 2011. If you have information to share, please contact us.
