Religious Community Says 'No' to Keystone XL Pipeline, 'Yes' to Climate Justice
By Rose Marie Berger (Contact)
To be delivered to: President Barack Obama
Petition Statement
The tar sands represent a catastrophic threat to our communities, our climate, and our planet. We urge you to stand by your religious tradition and your commitment to clear moral leadership on climate change by rejecting the requested permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and instead focus on developing safe, clean energy, that manifests reverence for God and God's creation.
Petition Background
President Obama will decide soon whether to sign a permit for the Keystone XL, a controversial 1,700 mile pipeline that would carry dirty oil from the Canadian tar sands to refineries in Texas, trespassing on 6 American states. U.S. religious communities argue that "climate change kills the poor first" and leading climate scientists contend that tar sands oil development will substantially increase U.S. carbon emissions. Tell President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline.
