President Obama is on the brink of making his final decision on the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Last Friday, the Nebraska Supreme Court validated the pipeline’s risky route through the state, moving the pipeline decision onto the President’s desk. That makes the coming weeks a critical period — this campaign has been sustained by action in the streets and now we need to show that we still stand strong against this climate disaster. Tomorrow the climate movement is mobilizing coast-to-coast to tell the President to reject Keystone XL now, … Continued

 “You may well ask: ‘Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?’ You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work … Continued
