If you follow this blog or are involved with Surfrider Foundation in Washington, you know that a major campaign that we've been working on over the past year is to stop new offshore oil and gas drilling along America's coasts following the proposal by the Trump Administration to open 90% of our waters to drilling, including the Washington Coast, and we're not backing down anytime soon! Come on down to join us and our friends Earthjustice and Deep Green Wilderness at Patagonia Ballard on 4/3 at 7pm for an update on how you can continue to help #DefendOurCoast
