Mass Action resulted in 11 arrests with 4 people who locked themselves to KXL machinery and 3 others who climbed trees in the path of the toxic Keystone XL pipeline.

Yesterday was one of Generation Alpha's biggest actions yet when over 100 people rallied from across the Nacogdoches community to help shut down two Keystone XL construction sites for the day.

Mass Action resulted in 11 arrests with 4 people who locked themselves to KXL machinery and 3 others who climbed trees in the path of this toxic pipeline. Their combined bail is set at $132,250, and they need to raise $13,490 by Wednesday at 5:30 PM to get them out or the bail will increase.

This is one of those times when they ask everyone to dig deep into your heart and your pocket and contribute more than usual. They appreciate your ongoing support, and they recognize a contribution isn't possible for everyone. If a contribution is within your means please consider a generous donation of $100, or even $10, because every little bit helps them reach their needed goal by Wednesday at 5:30PM.

TransCanada's strategy is to use their deep pockets and corporate lawyers to intimidate, bankrupt, and bully them and everyone else who has ever stood up to them. They refuse to be intimidated, and they won't stop until they stop this toxic pipeline!

And They're growing! Over the last week over 40 communities worldwide undertook solidarity actions with the Blockade to stand up to dirty energy extraction and ever widen the clarion call for climate justice NOW!
