Help take Trump to court to stop Keystone XL and prevent more oil spills: Donate $15 or more NOW!
Dear Liz,
Today, TransCanada's Keystone 1 pipeline spilled more than 200,000 gallons of tar sands -- the world's dirtiest oil -- in South Dakota. This spill will contaminate the environment and threaten local communities.
This is a sign of what's to come if Trump succeeds in forcing construction of TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline. Keystone XL would carry 830,000 barrels of the world's dirtiest oil every day from Alberta, Canada, to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
We've taken Trump to court to stop Keystone XL. But it's going to be a long fight. We need to make sure we have the resources to win. Can we count on you?
Donate $15 or more and help take Trump to court to stop Keystone XL!

The Keystone 1 spill shows what's at risk if Keystone XL is built. The new pipeline would cut through the habitat of the critically endangered whooping crane. A pipeline disaster could put this important species at risk of extinction.
Trump's attempt to build Keystone XL violates the law. Trump's State Department failed to fully consider the pipeline's impact on the whooping crane, which is protected under the Endangered Species Act.
This is unacceptable. Trump and his administration are trying to get around their legal obligations just so they can hand this pipeline to TransCanada. But with your help, we can stop them.
Donate $15 or more and help keep up the legal battle to stop Keystone XL!
