The stars urged fans to use their voice to sign a petition in support of the providing restoration to the Gulf.

“Women of the Storm” is a non-partisan grassroots organization of Louisiana women whose families, businesses, and lives were affected by Hurricanes Katrina.  Through utilizing social media tools, this grassroots campaign seeks to get long-term funding to restore and protect the Gulf Coast and wetland area affected by the spill. The initiative does not advocate a particular piece of legislation; it simply seeks to demonstrate to national leaders the strong and deep support across America for the essential funding for Gulf Coast restoration.
