Justice is needed for the workers who were killed and their families, the people of the Gulf states, wildlife, marine life and for all Americans. Justice takes many forms, including debarment, civil penalties, criminal penalties, compensation and a proposed Gulf Recovery Fund to balance the injustice of a nation that benefits from offshore drilling, yet leaves the Gulf states to deal with the pain, costs and risks. Justice also means that we fight harder for a climate bill that moves away from fossil fuels.
