I would love to help with this. Where would be the best place to do this, that 
might be noticed?

> Today the State Department released its Final Environmental Impact
> Statement (FEIS) on Keystone XL, starting the official countdown to a final
> decision by President Obama on the pipeline.
> 
> *Big oil hand-picked the reviewers of the pipeline, which means the report
> avoids taking a stand on the pipeline's climate impacts -- leaving the ball
> entirely in President Obama's court.* As always, he has all the evidence he
> needs to reject the pipeline.
> 
> The last time State released an FEIS about Keystone XL in 2011, 59 people
> were arrested that same day just outside the White House in what was just
> day 6 of a two week sit-in to stop the pipeline. Those sit-ins grew to
> actions across the country, which grew to a historic rally that surrounded
> the White House and forced President Obama to delay the pipeline, keeping
> millions of barrels of oil in the ground and millions of dollars out of the
> hands of big oil.
> 
> *In other words, today is just the starting point for the next crucial
> phase of this fight. Together, I believe we can once more stop the
> pipeline.*
> 
> We won't do it by relying on the State Department, whose process has been

> the President's good intentions -- his lofty rhetoric about climate change
> has been betrayed too many times by weak action and backtracking.
> 
> *As we showed in 2011, the only time you can count on the President is when
> you have him completely surrounded. And so it's up to us to mobilize again,
> and put the pressure on from all sides.*
> 
> Step one is to show our resolve and disappointment in this broken process.
> On Monday night, all across the country, people will be gathering to mark
> this moment together at protest vigils, where we will light the night with
> our resolve to keep fighting. We need to show the media, big oil and the
> President that this movement is mobilized and unafraid. Can you be there?
