Friends,

Today is the day. From Victoria to Halifax, people from coast to coast will stand up against the Kinder Morgan tar sands pipeline.

Tonight, with thousands of people planning to attend over 45 vigils across the country, we will make it clear to Prime Minister Trudeau: climate leaders don’t build pipelines -- reject Kinder Morgan.

There isn’t one nearby, but you can still be a part of this critical moment. We need folks from all over to share their commitment to stop Kinder Morgan today. It could be as simple as gathering a few friends, and spelling out “STOP KM” with some tea lights, holding a sign together or just following along online -- but... whatever you can do, it’s needed today. Check out all the ways that you can join in this day of action from home.

Kinder Morgan is on the edge of becoming a major political crisis for the Prime Minister.

On Saturday, over 4,000 people marched in Vancouver to demonstrate that this pipeline does not have the consent of First Nations or communities along its route -- and it would be devastating for our climate. Today, we will amplify this message across the country. Check out the full map of all of the events across the country to see the breadth of opposition to this pipeline.

Prime Minister Trudeau and his government are severely underestimating the extent to which people across the pipeline oppose this pipeline. If we stand up together we can show him that he can’t get away with approving Kinder Morgan while calling himself a climate and Indigenous rights leader.

Let’s tell Prime Minister Trudeau to keep his promises. Don’t sit this one out -- join the national day of vigils to stop Kinder Morgan. Let’s stop this pipeline,

Atiya
