Say NO to dirty fuels and YES to clean energy!

On Saturday, May 17, join 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 Cowboy and Indian Alliance, which just wrapped up a weeklong tipi encampment and series of #NoKXL actions in Washington, D.C. — along with Aldo Seoane and Oyate Wahacanka Woecun ("Shielding the People"), and Bold Nebraska — will be the hosts for this "Hands Around the Spirit Camp" event at the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Spirit Camp erected to protest the Keystone XL pipeline, located near Ideal, South Dakota.

The event is part of a National Day of Action is being jointly organized by the 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 across the nation to organize rallies, marches, and vigils that 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!
