This Monday, Say No To Keystone XL Pipeline
Written by Boston Biker on Mar 27Can’t ride your bike under water! Global warming is real, its serious, and it has Boston in the cross hairs, this Monday show up and let President Obama know that we care.
From 350.org:
As he approaches his final decision, we need to keep the pressure on President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline. In recent weeks communities in Cleveland, Stanford and Washington DC have all held actions at Presidential events calling on the President to say no to the piepelin.
Boston has played a key role in this fight against Keystone XL by consistently turning out big to tell President Obama to reject the pipeline.
On Monday, President Obama will be speaking at UMass Boston and we want a big crowd to greet him and remind him what to do: reject Keystone XL once and for all!
He’s approaching his final decision, and this could be the most important chance to bring him the message yet. The bigger the crowd, the stronger our message will be. Do you think you can join us?

Here are all the details:
What: Boston tells President Obama: NO KXL! A rally to tell President Obama to reject KXL.
When: 9:30 AM on Monday, March 26th
Where: UMass Boston Campus, near Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the US Senate (exact location TBD)
Who: 350 Massachusetts, 350 Cambridge, Better Futures Project and 350.org
We will have signs and banners, but need a big crowd that’s ready to make some noise. The President vetoed Congress’ Keystone XL bill last month, and is closer than ever to rejecting the project outright. Come out on Monday to help put an end to this disaster once and for all.
Let’s do this!
