Forward on Climate Feb 17 in DC!

On February 17, an Armada of Busses full of Human,
Non-Corporate People will land on Washington DC

President Obama must move Forward on Climate with decisive action to reduce ruinous carbon pollution. Obama’s most lasting legacy will be his leadership in the face of an unstable climate future. He can start with that most egregious violation of our planet’s health, the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

It is fully within Obama’s power to reject, with the stroke of a pen, the Keystone XL pipeline.

Will he reject it? Why shouldn’t he reject it?

Whose interest would he serve by letting the Keystone move forward?

Join the Largest Rally in History for a Stable Climate

The President’s daughters, and their children, present and future generations around the world deserve a livable climate. This should be a no brainer. So,

Join United for Action350.orgSierra Club, and hundreds of other groups to lend Obama the courage of OUR conviction. A COURSE CORRECTION on CLIMATE is NECESSARY NOW
