We will share ideas focused on landowners living along the various proposed tarsands and Bakken oil pipeline routes. Bring ideas that citizens can use to help landowners protect the land and water.
- All Nebraskans and landowners from other states are welcome! Ed Fallon from Iowa and Jane Kleeb from Nebraska will lead the discussion.

It’s not just Keystone XL. Big Oil is trying to build and expand an enormous network of tar sands pipelines — some even bigger than Keystone XL — from Canada into the Great Lakes region. These tar sands pipelines, including the Alberta Clipper, along with crude oil trains and tankers, pose a growing risk to the Great Lakes, our rivers, our communities and our climate.
That’s why on June 6, thousands will gather in the Twin Cities for the Tar Sands Resistance March — the largest anti-tar sands event ever in the region. We are coming together to send a clear message: keep toxic tar sands out of America’s Heartland, fight for clean water, clean energy, and a safe climate!
