“We, the undersigned impacted international community of North America, demand a halt to TransCanada Corp's & the entire fossil fuel industry's efforts to create a toxic tar sands Sacrifice Zone across Canada and the US. The continuation of tar sands extraction & its transport by water, rail, roadway and pipeline and especially the KXL pipeline across the US presently under consideration by US President Obama is contrary to our best interest, our climate and survival, and must be halted immediately. As a global community, our right to live free of the poisoning and destruction of our environment must be of higher importance than fossil fuel industry profits.”

Members of the Houston NO KXL group will also be present.
