Hey Joe, Sign the #NOKXL Pledge
Joe Biden
In March 2019, President Trump took an unprecedented and unilateral action to approve a single pipeline with the stroke of a pen, on an "Executive Memorandum" granting a permit for TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL tarsands export pipeline project.
Now that Joe Biden is the presumptive Democratic nominee will he commit to protecting Indigenous rights and resources by reversing Trump’s unjust action to approve a permit and stop the Keystone XL pipeline? Will Joe follow in the footsteps of Obama and reject the Keystone XL pipeline?
Join us in letting Joe know, it's time to stop the money pipeline and sign the NO KXL pledge-- sign our petition today.
The pipeline would pump the dirtiest of fossil fuels, tarsands, from where it's mined in Alberta, Canada, across 1,179 miles of critical bodies of water, Tribal treaty lands, and family farms and ranches in Nebraska, South Dakota and Montana — to Gulf Coast refineries, from where it would be exported to overseas markets.
Our leaders must stop the free ride Big Oil has received under Trump, and restore the environmental laws written to protect our water, land, clean air and a livable climate.

Native Voters are Waiting for you to Sign the NO KXL Pledge
+ If elected, I pledge to take executive action on Day One to stop any construction on the Keystone XL pipeline — no matter what — and revoke the existing presidential permits issued unilaterally by President Trump for the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, sending both projects back to relevant federal agencies to undergo legitimate environmental review and Tribal consultations.
+ I pledge to direct all federal agencies (State Dept., FERC, Army Corps) to submit these two projects, as well as all new pipeline and energy infrastructure projects to a true climate test, and reject permits for any project that would exacerbate our climate crisis.
+ I pledge to protect the property rights of farmers and ranchers from eminent domain abuse, and to honor the treaties the U.S. Government has signed with sovereign Tribal Nations.
