| July 28: Rally and direct action at the Brayton Point coal plant |
|
Just in time for the second hottest June on
record, the resistance to the fossil fuel industry has never been bigger.
As President Obama has finally unveiled a
plan to address climate change, across the country activists are taking
inspiring stands in unprecedented numbers.
We know that strong public pressure is key
to stopping the worst fossil fuel projects. That's why our friends at 350 have
organized Summer Heat. Working with local groups, they're mobilizing activists
at a dozen actions across the country in the next few weeks to stand up against
Keystone XL, coal, fracking, toxic pollution, and the industry that brings them
to us.
Here are the details:
What: Rally and direct action at the Brayton Point coal plant
Most of the actions will feature a rally
and an optional direct action, where participants may be risking arrest. Those
participating in direct action will need to attend a training the day before.
Everyone is welcome at the rallies, whether or not you will be risking
arrest.
President Obama’s decision on Keystone XL, and the fossil fuel industry's continued careless greed, have huge consequences for the future. But unless we stand up to oppose the fossil fuel industry's dangerous status quo, we won't get the solutions we need, as urgently as we need them. These actions will contribute to the growing momentum toward action on climate change, like the nearly 70,000 people throughout the country who have signed CREDO's pledge to commit civil disobedience if President Obama moves forward with the Keystone XL pipeline. Join the Summer Heat actions to help increase the impact. Click here to RSVP for your event and find more information. Thank you for taking action.
