In a bold action on Day Three of Reject + Protect, Nebraska farmer Art Tanderup and Wizipan Little Elk of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe risked arrest to spread our #NoKXL message — when they stepped into the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial carrying a banner that read: “Standing in the water could get me arrested. TransCanada pollutes drinking water and nothing happens.” (Photo by ©Garth Lenz / iLCP)

MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” interviewed Nebraska farmer Art Tanderup, and Casey Camp of the Ponca Nation of Oklahoma live from the Reject + Protect tipi encampment on the national mall.
Watch the clip below:
On Thursday evening, the Cowboy and Indian Alliance joined our friends at The Other 98% for an action at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — one of the eight federal agencies currently weighing whether Keystone XL is in the national interest — and a key voice that needs to make the case that KXL fails the President’s climate test.
We projected #NoKXL messages against the side of the EPA headquarters, accompanied by a message from the “#NoKXL Light Brigade.” (Photo by Jane Kleeb)
