Friends,
Trucks and trains full of pipes slated for Keystone XL have started to arrive in South Dakota and Montana as TransCanada begins pre-construction.
We've stopped this pipeline before, and we'll stop it again. Right now our best opportunity to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and stop KXL is for thousands of us to submit a public comment to the state department calling out Trump's latest sham environmental review of this project before the deadline in 8 days.
Tell the Trump Administration they won't get away with this sham review: No Keystone XL.
The law requires that these comments are tallied, analyzed, and considered in the final environmental review. We can make our voices opposing this pipeline heard if we have too many signatures for them to ignore.
In August, a federal judge ruled that the federal review of the pipeline was inadequate – so the Trump Administration came back just 37 days later with another rushed job claiming the impacts of the project would be "minor." Yet just last year, the Keystone 1 pipeline spilled more than 200,000 gallons of dirty oil in South Dakota.
There are only 8 days left before the deadline. This fight is about to ramp up, but we're ready. There are three active lawsuits, 17,000+ people ready to take peaceful action in solidarity with Indigenous communities on the route if called upon, and a strong coalition led by Indigenous leaders that's prepared to take on whatever comes.
Keystone XL would be game over for the climate – and we must stop it with everything we've got. We can't stay silent, submit a comment now.
Thank you for being with us,
Kendall
