This is it! Tomorrow over 3,000 people and over 80 organizational partners are joining 350 Bay Area and 350 Silicon Valley in San Francisco to say No to to the Keystone XL Pipeline.

We will march and rally in solidarity with tens of thousands of our friends gathering in Washington DC. We are all asking President Obama to reject, once and for all, the Keystone XL Pipeline, intended to bring earth destroying, filthy Canadian tar sands oil right through the heart of the United States just so a few greedy billionaires can add to their piles of useless money. Useless, because what use will money be when earth’s temperature has risen to a point where life as we know it is no longer sustainable? We are saying no to the madness.

BUT! This isn’t just a protest, it’s also a celebration of our unity and our vision for a healthier world. There will be music, puppets and more. Definitely bring your kids!

We gather at 1 pm to encircle the block housing the State Department offices because Secretary of State John Kerry is set to announce a decision on the pipeline any day. We need to give both him and President Obama our message loud and clear.

At 2 pm, Idle No More will lead our march to Justin Herman Plaza for a Round Dance, a dance of friendship and to show respect.

At 2:20 pm the dance will end, there will be an opening prayer, and we will hear the speakers. The program ends at 3 pm
