Friends,

Over the past several years, I've come to DC many times to protest the Keystone XL pipeline. This time feels special.

Why? Watch this powerful video of the Reject & Protect opening ceremony, and I think you might understand:

On Tuesday, the Cowboy Indian Alliance rode onto the National Mall and set up camp for a week of resistance. And they're making an impression -- on the media, on passers by, and we hope, on the President.

To be honest, we were expecting that President Obama's decision on Keystone XL was on its way as soon as next month, and Reject & Protect was meant to be an exclamation point on this campaign. But after Friday's announcement that his final decision will be postponed indefinitely, everyone here on the mall is gearing up to fight this thing for perhaps another year.

We need to make sure Reject & Protect finishes the week with energy, grace, and a whole lot of impact. We need to keep fighting this pipeline, and any other plans to extract, ship and burn tar sands. This movement needs your support.

To carry this campaign through the longer haul, we'll need to fund more events like this one, creative tactics to fend off Congresspeople pushing to approve the pipeline, and much more. Can you help make that happen?

Watch the opening ceremony video and donate to the Keystone XL campaign.

Thank you, friends, for sticking with us on this long road, and the many others we'll need to travel after it. We're so grateful that you're walking with us.

Onward,

Rae
