fusclimate Mailing List: Re: FW: FW: Breaking Bad News: Keystone XL Pipeline

[Scott Jackson (sjackzen46]

Thanks for the heads-up, Madeline. A call has been put out by 350.org  and
Credo Action, among others, for nationwide protest vigils on Monday
evening, and I've asked a couple of MN350 leaders about local actions. I'll
send out the information when I get it.
