The Seize BP Campaign has called for National Days of Action from Thursday, June 3 to Friday, June 11. Demonstrations are taking place in more than 50 cities across the country. The response has been amazing. People across the country are mobilizing to take to the streets to demand: Seize BP!

It is now clear that BP is incapable of solving the crisis, and oil will continue to gush until at least August. BP and the government are stalling, but the people of the Gulf coast and the environment can't wait. The time to take action is now!

Among the cities that are holding protests this week are Atlanta, GA.; Tampa, FL; Irving, TX; St. Joseph, Michigan; Front Royal and Virginia Beach, VA; Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego and many more.

This past weekend, we launched the movement in Syracuse with a forum called "BP's Gulf of Mexico Disaster: Who will pay the price?" Activists and organizers from Washington D.C., Baltimore, MD, and Syracuse, NY spoke. YNN, Central New York's 24-hour news station covered the event and featured the segment all day on Sunday. It can be seen here.

This Friday, June 11 we'll protest at the Federal Building in downtown Syracuse. We will be demanding that the Federal government seize BP's assets and place them in trust to provide immediate relief to workers and communities in the Gulf states. The people impacted by the disaster should be in charge of administering compensation, not Big Oil millionaires.

Be a part of this movement and help it grow! Go to SeizeBP.org and sign the petition. Get involved and organize an action today.
