The deadline to speak out against opening the Atlantic to offshore oil and gas drilling is March 30 at midnight.Will you add your voice to the fight?
You might be asking yourself: what is a Thunderclap?
Thunderclap is a tool that lets a message be heard when you and your community members say it together. Think of it as an “online flash mob.” Join a Thunderclap, and you and others will share the same message at the same time, spreading an idea through Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr that cannot be ignored.
Your next question might be why join a Thunderclap?
This is (ideally) a super easy way to lend your support to a cause close to your heart. Opening the Atlantic coast to allow offshore drilling leases would spell disaster for not just our coastal communities and ecosystems but could harm our economies and our quality of life. We know how powerful online activism can be in this day and age to bring critical issues to the media and to the people.
Hundreds of Atlantic coast residents have turned up, in person, to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s open houses along the eastern seashore. Now, it’s time to bring it to the digital realm and continue to make noise that drilling is NOT the answer for the Atlantic region!
