Voices of Protest

"How many of you are there?" people often ask SEAD. That's hard to say because SEAD is a grass-root movement and doesn't have members. What we do have is support from people all over the world. People that encourage us, advice us, and help us in many ways to do what we're doing.

We are also the voice of many people in Statia who can't speak out in public because repercussions would be severe.

SEAD meets every Saturday night at the Congo Preserve in Statia where all people are welcome to join the discussion or just listen.

In the St. Maarten newspaper The Daily Herald a lot of Statia people voice their opinion on the NuStar's expansion plans in a letter to the editor.
