     Opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline is heating up in East Texas. The Tar Sands Blockade group is organizing with local residents and environmentalists from around the country to stop the Keystone XL pipeline. Led by veteran climate justice organizers, participants have waged non-violent direct action against construction of the pipeline by building a tree sit-in and locking-down to heavy machinery. 

     Tar Sands Blockade, now entering its sixth month of action, will be hosting another 'mass action training camp' in preparation for an action on January 7th. The mass action camp is scheduled January 3rd - 8th. The training and events are open and include roles for everyone. If you are interested in joining the Tar Sands Blockade and standing up against toxic tar sands then make your way to Southeast Texas this weekend!!!
