Flier Here. Aug 20 to Sept 3 - www.tarsandsaction.org/ Peaceful protest in Washington DC to stop Canadian tar sands development - the largest "carbon bomb" in North America. See Bill McKibben article here. Follow on Facebook here. People power and time-tested tactics of civil disobedience with thousands of people from across the continent in a wave of sustained sit-ins. The goal: to amplify voices and escalate the movement and stop the Keystone XL pipeline to the Canadian tar sands. The focus is activists undergoing orientation in non-violence and civil disobedience and risking arrest. CCAN staff, board and supporters will be there Mon Aug 22. GWIPL and supporting congregations will have a faith witness on Mon Aug 29. CCIHC founder Lore was arrested on Aug 22. Steve of Ho Co Peace Action was arrested on Aug 29. Our Heroes - thanks! A Howard County contingent cheered on the activists on Aug 29 and witnessed (and videotaped) Steve's arrest, and multiple Howard County carpools attended the inspiring rally on the final day, Sept 3.
