XL Dissent Protest  ... >
March 2, 2014 - As the Obama Administration continues to work toward a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, hundreds of students and youth urged President Obama to reject the project in a "XL Dissent" protest in front of the White House.  According to a press release, "The young people represent over 50 colleges and universities and are taking action in solidarity with groups on the frontlines of dirty energy expansion and climate impacts, such as First Nations and refining communities, ranchers and farmers along the route, and those fighting tar sands expansion in Michigan and beyond."  Dozens were arrested at the event.
