John, we just got some major news from Democratic Presidential frontrunner, Joe Biden.
This morning, Biden announced that he would revoke the ‘presidential-permit’ for the Keystone XL pipeline if elected to office in 2020. This was not a guarantee, John, and it’s a testament to the movement we’ve built to stop this project.
But there’s a lot of time between now and the November election – and if we don’t act quickly, much of this pipeline could be built before election day. TC Energy is already moving forward with construction at the border and is doubling down to build as much as they can even without all the required permits.
We need all hands on deck to hold off this pipeline. Will you chip in $3 right now so we can pressure every Governor along the route to immediately halt construction and protect communities from COVID-19?Power the KXL fight, John →
Our movement continues to fight even while social distancing. Here’s just some of the things we’ve been able to achieve:
- 2,000 people signed up to join our mass Keystone XL strategy call last week.
- A federal judge revoked Nationwide Permit 12, a key water-crossing permit, for the pipeline last month.
- Over 50,000 people took action urging Montana Governor Bullock to immediately halt construction underway due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And we’re just getting started, John. There’s so much more to do and it will take lots of grassroots donations to pull it off. We have successfully stopped this pipeline for a decade – and we can’t afford to lose all our progress now.
Our work doesn’t stop with Keystone XL. We need to make sure that everywhere Joe Biden goes on the campaign trail, he hears from us (in questions, posters, small conversations, you name it). Together we can make sure that Biden not only blocks this pipeline, but every single one after that.
We’ve stopped Keystone XL before, let’s do it again.
