On Monday afternoon, the City Council unanimously passed the oil train resolution, cosponsored by Council Member O’Brien and Mayor Murray
Wonderful that 250-300 people came out on such a cold night, to demonstrate our resolve against Keystone XL and its dangerous siblings.
Thanks so much to everyone for coming out on a beautiful Sunday to protest the oil trains. We had some great coverage, and we have many more photos on our Facebook page.
Join us Sunday afternoon as we draw attention to the dangers of the oil trains now traveling through (and under!) downtown Seattle
Seattle activists Carlo Voli, Karen Looney, and Kyle Miskell were arrested last night along with 13 others in the course of two blockades in which people locked down to disabled vehicles in the path of a 450- ton tar sands megaload just outside of John Day, Oregon.
Thanks to everyone for a terrific show of strength at Obama’s fundraiser last night.
