Stop running television ads encouraging support for the Keystone XL pipeline & drilling in the ANWR.

While your support and advocacy for comprehensive immigration reform is laudable, it should not come at the expense of the planet, especially when all of FWD.US's key leaders claim to support renewable energy and efforts to combat climate change.

Why is this important?

FWD.US, an advocacy group founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other tech industry leaders to push for comprehensive immigration reform, has inexplicably decided to run ads in favor of two horrible initiatives -- the Keystone XL pipeline and drilling in Alaska -- that could, in the case of Keystone, mean "game over" for the climate.

These leaders claim to be in favor of efforts to combat climate change: They need to show it.

Demand that FWD.US stop running these ads right now.

Here's the article detailing what they're doing:
