November 6:  Tar Sands Action Day in Washington DC: 

This is a critical Action!  We need you in D.C.!  

We will encircle the whole White House to ask President Obama to reject Keystone XL and live up to his promise to free us from the tyranny of oil. In doing so, we want to remind him of the power of the movement that he rode to the White House in 2008. This is bigger than any one person - President or no - and we will carry on, with or without him.                                                                                                  

We'll be getting started at around 2 pm, and finishing up early evening. We'll be carrying signs with Obama's own words to show him we haven't forgotten his promises.  Sign up here to the Tar Sands Action in DC to push President Obama to stop the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.  All the information you need is at this link.

November 21st Stop Fracking on the Delaware Action  (Trenton, NJ)

This is a crucial day for fracking legislation in the New York, NJ, and Delaware.  
November 21, 2011, the Delaware River  Basin Commission made up of four governors from New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania and a federal agent will meet in West Trenton to vote on whether or not to allow fracking in the Delaware River Basin, the drinking water source for over 15 million people in the region. This will immediately impact the drinking water of 1.5million people in Philadelphia. Be present on November 21!  9:15 AM — 12:00 PM, New Jersey War Memorial, 1 Memorial Drive Trenton, N.J. 

We need you there at 9:15 am to protest fracking.  There are buses and ride shares planned as explained in the following link:  If you want to go, sign up here. 

If you can't go to this action-- call, write letters, or sign the anti-fracking petition at this link (phone numbers and contact information are at this link as well).   Also, especially important for New York Residents, write a hand-written letter to Governor Cuomo at this link.  New York is in the brink of starting major fracking upstate, and this will pollute our water, air, and destroy beautiful upstate areas forever.  It will impact the water safety of NYC city and more.  Tell Cuomo you are opposed!  Hand-written letters are proven to make a much stronger impact on your politicians.  They view a hand-written letter as real vote.  Get others to write a letter, too!
