This just came to me from 350.org. I hope the article lifts you as well.
MN350's next Tar Sands Team meeting is on Thursday, January 30, at 6:30 pm
at 2104 Stevens Ave S, Minneapolis. MN350's next Community Meeting is on
Wednesday, January 29, at 6:30 pm at the Whittier Rec Center, 425 W 26th
St, Minneapolis. I plan to attend both. Perhaps I'll see you at one or both.

 Dear friends,

Next week is going to be a big one -- President Obama is giving his State
of the Union speech, and we're hitting the home stretch of the fight to
stop the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

*To get fired up for what's next, check out the front-page New York Times
article that JUST came out about an hour ago.* The headline: "Keystone XL
Pipeline Fight Lifts Environmental
Movement."<http://act.350.org/go/4526?t=1&akid=4103.1105958.PKBpVd>The
article is a testament to your hard work, and all that we've
accomplished together. Click here to check it
out<http://act.350.org/go/4526?t=2&akid=4103.1105958.PKBpVd>
.

*But before we jump into the next phase of this fight, I hope those of you
who are CREDO customers will help out with a quick opportunity to support
this growing movement.*

CREDO is a cell phone company, alternative credit card provider, and a
social justice campaigning powerhouse. They’ve been our partners every step
of the way in the fight to stop Keystone XL -- and as the team behind
the Keystone
XL pledge of 
resistance<http://act.350.org/go/4505?t=3&akid=4103.1105958.PKBpVd>,
alongside RAN and The Other 98%, will be a key part of finishing it. Over
the last few years, they have helped turn out thousands of people for major
actions on Keystone XL and a diverse range of other issues.

In addition to mobilizing the grassroots, CREDO helps fund hundreds of
progressive groups -- and the way they do it is pretty cool. Every month,
CREDO members vote to distribute funds among three progressive
nonprofits. So, if you’re a CREDO customer -- like me, for instance -- then
you have an easy way to help out
350.org<http://act.350.org/go/19?t=4&akid=4103.1105958.PKBpVd> with
just a few clicks.

*Over the next week, CREDO members can cast a vote to raise funds
for 350.org <http://act.350.org/go/19?t=5&akid=4103.1105958.PKBpVd> as we
scale up our efforts together. The voting is free and only takes a few
seconds -- we’re excited to be part of it and we hope you’ll help out by
voting for 350.org
<http://act.350.org/go/4527?t=6&akid=4103.1105958.PKBpVd>.*

Note: this voting offer is solely for CREDO customers, which we realize
many of you may not be. If you aren’t, don’t stress it -- we've got big
plans in the works, so get your marching shoes ready. But if you are a
CREDO customer, we hope you’ll cast a vote for
us<http://act.350.org/go/4527?t=7&akid=4103.1105958.PKBpVd> --
though we should say that the other two groups you can vote for, Mother
Jones and Planned Parenthood, both do excellent work to build a more
progressive world.

(FYI: I just cast my ballot right now and it took approximately three
seconds.)

Thanks, and talk more very very soon,

May

P.S. I also wanted to note an important development: a few days ago, the
Southern leg of Keystone XL started making deliveries of tar sands oil to
refineries in Texas. The Northern leg is still President Obama’s call to
make, with huge implications for our climate and water. You can learn more
about the next steps of resistance to the Southern pipeline by clicking
