After an amazing grassroots uprising of protesters against the Keystone XL pipeline, President Obama recently chose to delay his decision on the tar sands pipeline until 2013.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, help us thank Obama for delaying his decision; but also let him know that we’ll keep organizing until the pipeline is rejected.
Please participate in our social media day of action on Tuesday, November 22, 2011.

History was made in the announcement of the 12+ month delay of the Keystone XL pipeline, and in the undeniable proof that people power still works. The tireless hours you put into fighting this pipeline, and all dirty energy, made all the difference. You made Obama, the president himself, think twice.
The delay of the pipeline is a monumental win, but not a full victory. To be clear, this fight is not over until we see Transcanda, and all dirty energy, pack their bags.
While we will continue to hold President Obama accountable to his campaign promises for clean energy, we must acknowledge when we win. We must own it.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, here’s your opportunity to tell the Obama Administration that you’re thankful for the Keystone XL delay, and thankful for all the future decisions they’re going to continue to make in the right direction.
This is a perfect opportunity to harness the momentum that came from organizing and continue good work that will lead to even more wins.
