BP Protests Tonight; AM/PM and ARCO Boycotts Forever

11:13 AM PDT on June 8, 2010

Super-pissed-off about BP and feeling powerless to do anything about it? We can start by boycotting ARCO gas stations and AM/PM convenience stores, both of which are owned by BP. Want to go a step further than denying them your hard-earned money?  Here's a list of L.A.-area gas stations where MoveOn.org plans vigils tonight (the 50th day of the Gulf oil spill's rampage) to demand alternative fuel sources, which our parents say this country has been debating since they were kids in the fifties. Let's be the generation who ends the debate and ensures that California's beaches aren't next on the corporate spill list.
