On September 21st, we will draw the line to protect our communities from climate change and show President Obama that there is no turning back -- to keep his climate promises, he has to stop Keystone XL and the tar sands.
Here is why it’s so important to Draw the Line on Keystone XL this weekend:
For the first time, President Obama is talking like he might be willing to reject the pipeline -- but Canada’s government is making a last-ditch effort to strike a deal that would let the pipeline be built, and big oil is adding pressure too, with new efforts to approve it via Congress.
But I believe we can win this fight by taking it out of Washington DC. From big oil's corporate offices, to the pipeline routes and refineries, a growing grassroots movement is confronting the tar sands and on Saturday, we will be holding the largest day of coordinated action against the tar sands yet -- over 200 actions coast-to-coast, from a high water mark being chalked in Manhattan, to a "People's Eminent Domain" in Houston, to a line drawn in the sand outside President Obama's Hawaii vacation home.
