Northern NJ Bus to NoKXL Rally
This bus has been cancelled. Your payment will be refunded/credited to your credit card within 24-72 hours.
Carpools are being formed. For details email rosemary@copyrose.com We'll depart at 5:15 am from Garden State Parkway Exit 165 park & ride lot on the southbound (Ridgewood) side.
Here's what's happening on Saturday:
4 days after the Cowboy Indian Alliance tipis first go up on the Mall (between 7th and 9th streets), we'll gather at 11 AM on Saturday the 26th at the encampment to make our closing argument against the pipeline. As we gather, everyone there will be asked to make their thumbprint mark on a tipi. Then we'll hear from the farmers, ranchers, tribal leaders and refinery community members who will be directly impacted by Keystone XL and the tar sands and who have pledged to lead the resistance should it be approved.
Then, those leaders will carry our painted tipi to present to President Obama, with thousands of people standing behind them. This tipi will represent our hope that he will reject the pipeline, and our promise that we will protect our land, water and climate if he chooses to let the pipeline move forward.
Once the tipi is delivered, we'll return to the encampment in song and make our pledge to continue resistance to the pipeline should it be approved.
At 3:00 pm, we will board our bus back to NJ. Estimate time of arrival at Paramus is 8:00 pm.
