What: Tar Sands Block­ade pro­test­ers take over Tran­sCana­da Key­stone XL offices in Hous­ton, demand­ing account­abil­i­ty for abus­es by Tran­sCana­da

Where: 2700 Post Oak Blvd, Suite 400, Hous­ton TX 77056 (next to the Hous­ton Gal­le­ria)

When: Under­way now!

Who: 100+ pro­test­ers gath­ered to con­front pipeline com­pa­ny over land abus­es, tox­ic lega­cy and cli­mate change con­nect­ed to TransCanada’s Key­stone XL pipeline.

The Tar Sands Block­ade is a group of envi­ron­men­tal­ists and landown­ers work­ing to stop the Key­stone XL tar sands pipeline through direct action.

Why: This action kicks off a new phase of the Tar Sands Block­ade tar­get­ing the cor­po­rate and finan­cial infra­struc­ture behind the Key­stone XL pipeline. TransCanada’s pipeline uses seized land to trans­port tox­ic tar sands oil through Texas and Okla­homa com­mu­ni­ties, in order to export it from Hous­ton ports. These dan­ger­ous busi­ness prac­tices and the back­lash from com­mu­ni­ties across the coun­try make this pipeline a tox­ic invest­ment for our state and TransCanada’s cor­po­rate lenders.
