BP's long-term, reckless disregard of safety is threatening the Gulf with a spill many times larger than the Deepwater Horizon. Even BP admits another catastrophic accident is possible. Food & Water Watch has the evidence. Tell President Obama to shut down BP Atlantis until proven safe.

Shut Down BP Atlantis

Dear President Obama,

BP has admitted that its Atlantis oil platform, currently operating in the Gulf of Mexico, could have a “catastrophic operator error” due to over 6,000 missing safety documents. The Minerals Management Service has failed to properly investigate despite multiple whistleblowers, Food & Water Watch, and members of Congress bringing this to their attention.

We can’t afford another tragedy in the Gulf. Please immediately shut down BP Atlantis until it can be proven safe.
