Demand that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stop the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline

Siding with NRDC, a federal judge just rejected the Trump administration’s attempts to fast-track the Keystone XL pipeline — the fossil fuel monstrosity that would carry 830,000 barrels of dirty tar sands oil each day from Canada's boreal forest through America's heartland.

This massive pipeline would threaten land, climate, and drinking water supplies, keep us rooted in the dirty fossil fuels of the past, and slow our path to a clean energy future.

Enough is enough — Keystone XL is all risk and absolutely no reward.

Now, the fate of this climate-wrecking pipeline lies with Trump’s State Department.

Demand that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stop the reckless Keystone XL tar sands pipeline once and for all!

Dear Sec. Pompeo and the State Department:

I'm appalled to learn that the State Department was attempting to cut corners and fast-track its environmental review of the Keystone XL pipeline's new route in Nebraska. 

It's critical that you comply with the recent federal court order and complete a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement to fully assess the environmental impacts of this disastrous project.

Keystone XL threatens land, climate, and drinking water supplies for farmers, ranchers, Indigenous people, and other communities. And the pipeline keeps us rooted in the dirty fossil fuels of the past instead of moving us toward a clean energy future.

Enough is enough. It's time for the State Department to stop this irresponsible project once and for all! Thank you.

Tell the Senate: Stop Trump's march to war. Reject Trump's War Cabinet!

Trump is pushing America toward war – and his illegal missile strikes¹ on Syria could be just the beginning.

He’s now assembling a cabinet of warmongers: Iraq War architect John Bolton as National Security Advisor, war-loving Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State, and torturer “Bloody Gina”²Haspel as CIA Director. With them in charge, things could turn very bad, very quickly.

Sign the petition to the Senate: Stop Trump from marching us into needless war. Reject the Trump War Cabinet!

These appointees are out for blood. It only took John Bolton 5 days as National Security Advisor before the U.S. launched missiles at Syria – in an apparent violation of the War Powers Resolution.

Unlike National Security Advisor, the other members of Trump’s War Cabinet need Senate approval to take office. If we can pressure the Senate to block Mike Pompeo and Gina Haspel, we can severely weaken Bolton’s war-hungry position and halt Trump’s march to war.

Sign now to tell the Senate: “Block Trump’s War Cabinet!”

Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, is on record saying that he thinks all Muslims are “potentially complicit” in terrorism. He supports torture, doesn’t believe climate change is real, and is on board with pre-emptive strikes in Iran and North Korea as well. Senate Dems like Tim Kaine have already come out against Pompeo, because if he’s is confirmed as the nation’s chief diplomat, then diplomacy flies out the window.

You can’t let Trump assemble a War Cabinet. Tell the Senate to block Trump’s nominees.

Gina Haspel not only supervised torture, she later drafted orders to destroy evidence of torture to cover up the CIA’s involvement. The European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights has called for her arrest as a war criminal, but instead Trump wants her to be the next CIA Director.

Thousands of activists just like you can already see the blood in the water. If Trump gets his way with these nominees, endless war is all but guaranteed.

The Senate needs to hear from you right now. Tell them to block Trump’s War Cabinet.
