Ann Arbor #NOKXL Vigil
Start: Monday, February 03, 2014• 6:00 PM
With the release of the State Department’s final environmental impact statement, this is a crucial moment to protest Keystone XL. Join us Monday evening to send the message to President Obama that Keystone XL fails his climate test and he must reject it.
I’ll be bringing some candles and signs (links available after you sign up), but please bring some as well if you can. You can bring/use LED candles, glow sticks, flashlights - anything that will show your presence. A flashlight will work with a sign or you can be creative. This is a national event with many environmental groups involved. Let's show the President there are a lot of people in Michigan concerned about the completion of the Keystone XL because it will promote the extraction of tar sands which releases enormous amounts of carbon. We need to remind him of his words at Georgetown University in June 2013, where he said he would not approve the Keystone unless it had zero net effect on greenhouse gases.
