From our friends at the Sierra Club –
Now that the State Department has released its final environmental analysis, the decision will soon be in the president’s hands. In case you haven’t heard about the final state dept EIS report on the Keystone XL pipeline (which unsurprisingly & falsely says Keystone “would have little effect on climate change”), read about it from the NY Times.
Vigils have now been announced for this Monday night, Feb 3** by a coalition of groups including Sierra Club, CREDO, Rainforest Action Network, 350.org, Center for Biological Diversity, Oil Change International, Bold Nebraska, Energy Action Coalition, The Other 98% and the Hip Hop Caucus.
** Because the weather forecast is calling for heavy snow most of the day on Monday here in DE, we’re going to do our action on WEDNESDAY, 2/5 at 5pm. We’ll meet up near Trinity church at 1108 N Adams Street Wilmington (there is a parking lot) for a rally and candlelight vigil at the I-95 overpass near Delaware Ave and Adams St. The event will go on rain or shine but please keep your fingers crossed for clear weather!
You can RSVP on Facebook.
And RSVP with Sierra Club and Credo Action.
Thousands of people speaking out in hundreds of communities around the country is just the message we need to put the president on notice that we’re going to hold him to his commitment to take action on climate, and reject the Keystone XL pipeline. Already there are events planned for next week in 45 states.
Thanks for helping to speak out against Keystone XL at this important moment.
We hope to see you on Wednesday!
