We started off on Sunday with the terrific collaborative event, Connecting the Dots. Many thanks to all who made it work, and especially to Kathleen Dean Moore for a fantastic keynote speech (which we’ll upload soon).

On Tuesday afternoon, 9 high school students risked arrest at the Federal Building, and were supported in the action by about 50 other youths and adults. The action was led by 350 Seattle coordinator Lynn Fitz-Hugh’s daughter, Sara Grendon. “[President Obama] may have delayed [KXL], but we’re not forgetting about it,”  said Erasmus Baxter, one of the students. Read the Stranger post here.

Then, on Wednesday, 350 Seattle and Rising Tide Seattle folks carpooled up to Mt. Vernon to support local communities fighting the fast-tracking of air permits for Shell’s Anacortes refinery. You can see the solid KIRO 7 coverage here. We’re headed back up next Tuesday to help fight the “nonsignificant” determination by the county commissioners at their 11:30 am public meeting, which means they think Shell can expand its oil-by-rail capacity without any public debate. Join us!
