Hey John,

On April 15th, we got a major victory when a federal judge revoked
Nationwide Permit 12, a key water-crossing permit, for the Keystone XL
pipeline. 

The permit is essential to complete construction of the project and was
denied due to violations of the Endangered Species Act. However, despite
this ruling TC Energy (fka TransCanada) is moving forward with
construction at the US-Canada border during a global pandemic - without
necessary permits - putting the health & safety of communities and workers
at risk. 

In order for Keystone XL - or any pipeline to get built - the fossil fuel
industry needs two things: political support and financial backing. It’s
time to turn up the pressure on both fronts. And while we can’t take to
the streets, we can still organize together online. 

[ [link removed] ]Join our movement online next week for Earth Day Strikes. You’ll hear
from leaders on the frontlines, learn about new strategies to stop
Keystone XL, and build power with activists from all over the globe. 

Let’s get clear on who is supporting KXL construction right now: 

 1. Governors along the route in Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska not
only have the power to stop construction amidst coronavirus, but they
can also take swift action while key federal permits are being
revoked. 
 2. Chase Bank continues to finance this pipeline project. Liberty
Mutual is providing the project a $15 million insurance bond. And TC
Energy received a lofty $1.1 billion bailout from the Alberta
government in Canada. This is unacceptable.

Since construction began last week, over 90,000 people have taken action
calling on the elected leaders and financial backers of Keystone XL to
stop construction immediately and instead, protect Indigenous and rural
communities, and the safety of workers. And while we need to maintain
physical distancing, all of us must take collective action now to stop
construction from continuing.

[ [link removed] ]Will you join our growing movement on April 22-24? Take action to stop
Keystone XL and join people from all around the world striking to end all
fossil fuel projects. 

The fossil fuel industry believes that while our communities fight back
against the spread of coronavirus, they can push their dangerous agenda
forward without resistance. Let’s make sure they couldn’t be more wrong. 

[ [link removed] ]See you on Earth Day Strikes live on April 22nd - April 24th. 

In solidarity,

Nkenge Abidemi
