Description: To
protest TransCanada's effort to build the Keystone XL pipeline, and put
pressure on the Obama Administration as it nears a decision on Keystone
XL by showing the serious commitment of the more than 75,000 activists
who have pledged to risk arrest if necessary to stop Keystone XL, we
will be sitting-in at TransCanada's headquarters in Houston. This will
be a peaceful and dignified action where participants will be risking
arrest.
Legal and Action Details: All of the legal options, outcomes, and
possibilities will be gone over at the required legal briefing on
Sunday. Although action like this normally result in same day release

attend the required legal briefing and hear all the possibilities.
