HEFN/EGA Call: Reflections on the Gulf Coast Funder Tour
- Description
- For nearly two months, the world has watched British Petroleum oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico at a dizzying rate. With each passing day the coagulating oil hits more of the Gulf Coast; threatening wildlife, coastal lands, and the health and livelihood of local fishing communities. In response, the The Gulf Coast Fund for Community Renewal and Ecological Health organized a funder tour of the region on May 18-20, 2010. This tour allowed funders to get a firsthand view of how the BP oil spill is affecting coastal communities in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi.
This funder only call included three speakers who participated on the tour and allowed them an opportunity to share with funders share their reflections on what they experienced during the tour and provide updates on the current situation in the Gulf Coast.
Speakers included:
Chris Paine, writer/director of the award-winning documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?
Latosha Brown, The Gulf Coast Fund for Community Renewal and Ecological Health
Richard Mott, Wallace Global Fund
Wilma Subra, Subra Company/The Gulf Coast Fund for Community Renewal and Ecological Health
