We prayed. We walked the land. We honored the place. And now, we get ready to gather. Welcome to the 2023 #GulfGathering. Follow, amplify, share your story. #Mississipi >>>

[Gulf South to Appalachia (formerly GS4GND) @GulfSouth2App]

We may not see all the changes we want in one generation. We hold our little ones in our hearts and heads, knowing that the only way is forward. #GulfGathering

Day 4 of #GulfGathering: Recapping how far we’ve come, sitting with the gaps, and recommitting to the work ahead. This is a movement not a moment. Let’s go.

[Gulf South to Appalachia (formerly GS4GND) @GulfSouth2App]

We began in a circle, sharing stories from Katrina to BP Oil Disaster, pipeline fights + victories, old wars + new wars, the financial collapse + Occupy, knowing that transformation is the way forward— and we figured how to distribute millions to the GROUND. #GulfGathering

[Gulf South to Appalachia (formerly GS4GND) @GulfSouth2App]

End the occupation. The Gulf South calls for #CeasefireForGazaNOW. #FreePalestine #GulfGathering

Day 3 of #GulfGathering: We’re taking our local fights and going regional and global. We need to connect with each other, knowing land and water has no borders, to determine WHERE we’re going. Let’s go.

[Gulf South to Appalachia (formerly GS4GND) @GulfSouth2App]

We all deserve to be FREE. Earth is our ancestor and future.

[Gulf South to Appalachia (formerly GS4GND) @GulfSouth2App]

@ProjectSouth Tear. down. every. wall. Let’s build inclusive, connective, welcoming bridges and movements. It’s the only way to make sure there’s a future for all of us. #GulfGathering

[Gulf South to Appalachia (formerly GS4GND) @GulfSouth2App]

Starting now! Day 2 of #GulfGathering. Follow here and add your stories; we’re talking about the root of the climate crisis and regional priorities. And, we’re going to build a fire & build alignment. #ClimateJustice

@ProjectSouth In Puerto Rico, we are talking about publicly-owned energy sources and using sustainable materials that can be recycled on the island. #GulfGathering
