TONIGHT: Protest Keystone XL at a vigil near you

Dear MoveOn member,

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment in the fight to get President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline. 

On Friday, the State Department issued a report—co-authored by an oil industry contractor—claiming that Keystone XL will not significantly worsen global warming.¹

We can't let the oil industry have the last word. That's why tonight, Monday, February 3, our friends at CREDO, the Sierra Club, Rainforest Action Network, and other progressive and environmental groups are organizing more than 250 protest vigils in 48 states to send a clear and urgent message: Keystone XL is a climate disaster, and President Obama must reject it.

There's a vigil near you TONIGHT, Monday, at 6 p.m. to protest the Keystone XL pipeline—can you attend?

Click here to RSVP to tonight's vigil near you.

If you can be there tonight, you'll help show that people power can defeat corporate power. This is a rapid response moment—and these events have been pulled together over the weekend to respond to the breaking news.

As President Obama said just days ago in his State of the Union address, "When our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did."²

If he approves Keystone XL, President Obama will have failed that test. We can't let that happen.

Thousands of people speaking out in hundreds of communities around the country will put the president on notice that we're going to hold him to his commitment to take action on climate change by rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline.

Click here to find a vigil near you and sign up to attend tonight at 6 p.m.

Thanks for all you do.
