The Summit is at First Unitarian Universalist Church Sanctuary, 5212 South Claiborne Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana.

The speakers thus far are outraged about being gassed, their cries being ignored.

"We are fighting for our lives," one young speaker said.

Another said, "We are in shock in New Orleans. Most people I talk to can't even talk about this crisis. They are traumatized, trying to live a normal life. They cannot think about this and change the subject to the latest reality TV show they watched."

"All health data is being kept confidential according to a young woman with a background in environmental science.

"People here are choking and dying.

"We are talking about a bigger evacuation than this country has ever seen."

Bio-remediation is being presented as a solution that BP and government refuse to allow.

Dozens of local residents are standing in line to speak - waiting their turn.

2000 people turned out in New Orleans to mourn.

A woman with a professional health background said, "We need help. We need Michael Moore Moore here with us now. We need medical volunteers now. "

Another said, "We need to get a lot of reporters to risk arrest. Organize a time when we will all be there with them so they can take pictures and show what's really going on here."

People of the Gulf of Mexico, mainly those in New Orleans have worked with the non-government organization, The World Can't Wait so that Saturday's Gulf Emergency Summit would finally end suppression associated with the humanitarian disaster unfolding along the Gulf coast.

    With the crisis on AZ border, the crisis on the gulf states, all we need now is a hurricane to move the crisis up the east coast. Well done NWO...We WILL win!
