Marcin,
Huge news: The Obama Administration just rejected TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline plan, putting the project on hold indefinitely while they study alternate routes.
This decision is a tremendous victory in the grassroots campaign against a pipeline that, until recently, was considered a done deal. The expected 12-18 month delay is a critical blow to the project, making it likely that the pipeline will be rejected or abandoned altogether.
Today’s decision is a major step in the right direction, and a true reason to celebrate — but let’s be clear: we can’t stop. The fight against Keystone XL isn’t over, and there are critical decisions on the horizon.
Perhaps the best news of the day is that we know how to win this fight. In this battle between people power and corporate dollars, people power is coming out on top.
In the last 72 hours, you have pledged over 200,000 hours to stand up to Big Polluters this year. Our people power will win this fight, and it will carry us to victory against coal, fracking, and the corporate interests polluting our politics.
Let’s keep the people power going. We’ve set a new goal of 500,000 hours for People Power 2012.
Half a million hours is an ambitious target, but we’re confident this movement can reach it. Once you sign, please spread the word by posting your pledge to Facebook and Twitter, and forwarding this email to your networks.
Today we can celebrate, but we can’t let up. People power is what got us this far, and people power is what will allow us to see it through.
Onward,
