Join the Sierra Club in saying NO to dirty fuels and YES to clean energy! 

On Saturday, May 17, join the Sierra Club and communities around the country to ask the President and local officials to reject the Keystone XL pipeline, offshore drilling and other dirty fuel projects that threaten our communities and destabilize our climate. The Sierra Club Rocky Mountain Chapter is leading a rally at the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol in downtown Denver from 11:00 - 2:00. This will be one of dozens of events across the country to send a clear message to reject the Keystone XL pipeline and dirty fuels. There will also be colleagues from 350 Colorado and the Center for Biological Diversity. 

This event features several amazing speakers, a hands-joining ceremony at 12:00, and the opportunity to make a bold statement to elected officials and the public. Our reason for gathering is simple: To say NO to the KXL pipeline, NO to dirty fuels, and YES to clean energy. 

This Day of Action against Dirty Fuels is being jointly organized by the Sierra Club, Tar Sands Coalition and Hands Across the Sand / Hands Across the Land. Hands, founded in 2010, grew into an international movement after the BP oil disaster in April of that year. People came together to join hands, forming symbolic barriers against spilled oil and the impact of other forms of extreme energy.

We invite activists to join the Sierra Club's Day of Action in Denver on May 17. Call on the President to reject KXL and other tar sands pipelines, while at the same time asking our state and local leaders to say no to the dirty fossil fuel projects that endanger our local communities. Whether it's Arctic drilling, mountaintop removal, dangerous tar sands pipelines, fracking, exporting liquid natural gas, or shipping crude by rail through our hometowns, we all have reason to be concerned -- for the health of our families, and the health of the planet.

Join hands! Join us!
