Tell the U.S. State Dept: NO Keystone XL pipeline

Marti — I traveled to Billings, Montana today to stand in solidarity with landowners, Tribal Nations, and Water Protectors at a rally before the one and only public hearing being held by the U.S. State Department on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. Unfortunately, unlike the historic 2013 State Dept. hearing on KXL in Grand Island, Nebraska — where over 1,000 Pipeline Fighters turned out, and hundreds gave public testimony in front of their fellow neighbors and citizens for nearly 12 hours — the scene here in Montana is a sad excuse for a public hearing, where citizens must instead speak their concerns privately one-by-one into a tape recorder, or else write them out to submit on paper. Despite this attempt to silence the voices of Pipeline Fighters with no true “public hearing,” it’s still crucial that we speak out. The best way you can make your voice heard right now is to submit a written comment into the State Department’s new draft environmental review of the pipeline. Public comments are due by Nov. 18th. Add your name: Submit a NoKXL comment to the U.S. State Department. (Note: We encourage affected landowners living on the proposed KXL route to submit hand-written letters with your public comments on the pipeline directly to the State Department. Include docket number: DOS-2019-0033) Mailing address: Ross Alliston, Keystone XL Program Manager Office of Environmental Quality and Transboundary Issues U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 I’m proud to stand alongside Water Protectors here in Montana today, and will make sure to relay all the concerns of landowners and Pipeline Fighters from back home in Nebraska when I speak directly to State Department officials at the hearing. Make sure your voice in opposition to KXL is heard: Submit a NoKXL comment now. Thanks for standing with us. Jane Kleeb and the Bold team P.S.

Conference Call for Pipeline Fighters, landowners and #NoKXL activists

---

 

Bold Nebraska has organized a conference call for Pipeline Fighters, landowners and #NoKXL activists this Thursday evening, July 13th, to discuss the final public hearing on Keystone XL scheduled for July 26th at the Ralston Arena in Omaha, the Aug. 6th “March to Give Keystone XL the Boot” in Lincoln, and the upcoming week of intervenor proceedings at the Public Service Commission Aug. 7-11.

Dial in to join us at 6:00 p.m. CT on Thursday for a Keystone XL conference call update from Bold’s Jane Kleeb.

• WHAT: Conference Call Update for Keystone XL Pipeline Fighters
• WHEN: Thursday, July 13, 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. CT
• DIAL-IN NUMBER: 800-245-9874
• ACCESS CODE: 4713843

We have outnumbered the pro-KXL supporters by 3-1 or more at the recent public hearings on Keystone XL, and it’s critical that we turn out in full force for this final Public Service Commission meeting on July 26th in Omaha.

This is your last chance to speak out on the record against Keystone XL — as the “intervenor” proceedings in August will be open to the public to attend and observe, but no public testimony will be taken during that week.

• WHAT: Public Hearing on Keystone XL in Omaha
• WHEN: Wednesday, July 26, Doors: 9:00 a.m. | Hearing: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
• WHERE: Ralston Arena, 7300 Q St, Omaha, NE 68127 (map)
• DETAILS: RSVP and share details of the hearing on Facebook.

Mark your calendar: Make plans now to join us on Sunday, August 6th in Lincoln for the “March to Give Keystone XL the Boot.”
