I want to thank and applaud all the dedicated and concerned bloggers and activists who are standing up against the Keystone. I am sure the event in DC will be very inspiring. But, of course, not all of us can make it there.
The list below (sorry link to the list won't work correctly) shows you actions around the country. So, if you can make it to one near you, please do. And please pass the word. You will also note info about buses from various areas and a way to connect with other Kossacks at the rallies.
Additionally this is a link to the 100 days of action about the climate with the Sierra Club.

This is the llink one of the most recent blogs about this. I feel we are honored to have Senator Sanders on the site and I appreciate his fiery and resolute leadership for progressive causes.
