Kansas/Oklahoma #NoKXL & Flanagan South Hands Across the Land Rally
Start: Saturday, May 17, 2014• 2:00 PM
Say NO to dirty fuels and YES to clean energy!
On Saturday, May 17, join Kansas and Oklahoma Sierra Clubs for Hands Across the Land / Hands Across the Land. We will ask President Obama, the State Department and local officials to reject the Keystone XL pipeline, Flanagan South, offshore drilling, and other dirty fuel projects that threaten our communities and destabilize our climate.
Oklahoma Sierrans and supporters will carpool from Oklahoma City to Wichita, KS to participate in this rally as a co-sponsor. Please register. We will contact you about travel plans.
This 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.
Activists across the nation will organize rallies, marches, and vigils that call on the president to reject KXL, Flanagan South and other tar sands pipelines, while at the same time asking 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! From OKC to Wichita on May 17!
