This past weekend was epic. 1,200 students and young people from across the
country descended on DC to demand that President Obama stop the Keystone XL
pipeline. The energy was incredible as students marched from Georgetown
University, past Secretary Kerry's house and to the White House, where students
and young people from across the youth climate movement spoke about how tired
they were of waiting for President Obama to be a real climate champion. Then 398
of them got arrested at the White House fence to show the President how serious
they were. Their banner read, "Obama, we did not vote for Keystone XL! Stop this
pipeline or the people will!" Obama was home and must have seen some passionate
faces on his front steps.
the President is coming to our turf. He will be
hosting a dinner fundraiser tomorrow night and we will be rallying to say No
KXL!
What: Boston Tells Obama: No
KXL!
When: Tomorrow, March 5th,
6pm
Where: 100 West 2nd Street, Boston, MA
For the last few years, Boston has held some of the strongest, biggest
climate events we've seen. Let's keep up the pressure and show the President
that we are tired of waiting. We need his leadership now, and that starts with a
rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline! Together, we can show President Obama
that Boston is more fired up and ready to go than ever to fight the
pipeline!
We will have signs, banners, and chant leaders, just bring yourself (in your
350MA shirt and banners if you have 'em) and get ready to make some noise. In
the final days of the public comment period, let's be louder and stronger than
ever.

comment period ends this Friday!
