Dear Lorelei,
On Tuesday we announced the next, game-changing phase of our fight against the Keystone XL pipeline with the Promise to Protect training tour.
The Promise to Protect tour will take our movement to the next level: training and mobilizing thousands to follow the call of Indigenous leaders and effectively block the Keystone XL pipeline from ever being built. We'll show companies like TransCanada that people-powered movements are going to make all pipeline projects too costly to even attempt.
But we need your help to make it work, so I need to ask: Will you make a gift of $5 or more right now to help us reach and train as many people as possible, and to scale up our fights against fossil fuel projects everywhere?
Over 20,000 people have signed the Promise to travel to the Keystone XL route and resist when Indigenous leaders call on us. And with TransCanada threatening to start construction as soon as this year, we have to be ready now.
With your help, we will work with our partners to:
- Support Lakota trainers from the Keystone XL route and local trainers at every event to educate and empower our movement.
- Teach best practices of nonviolent direct action, which will make our movement as cohesive, powerful, and safe as possible.
- Educate supporters about the national strategy to stop the expansion of pipelines and set goals for both halting Keystone XL and other local fossil fuel projects.
- Share protocols for how to be respectful and effective allies if invited as a guest on Lakota territory.
In a moment when a livable climate hangs in the balance, this tour is a powerful piece of our plan to resist Trump's fossil fuel agenda, keep fossil fuels in the ground, and achieve environmental justice for communities most affected by climate change.
Please support the Promise to Protect and all of our work with a donation today.
Thank you,
May
