Pipeline

Bienvenidos a Democracy Now!, democracynow.org el informativo de Guerra y Paz, soy Amy Goodman. Tens of thousands rallied on Washington’s National Mall on Sunday for what organizers dubbed the largest climate rally in U.S. history. The "Forward on Climate" event urged President Obama to reject the Keystone XL oil pipeline and accept binding limits on emissions of carbon. Indigenous leaders Chief Jacqueline Thomas and Casey Camp said the Keystone pipeline endangers their communities. It puts at risk my neighbors to the east of me that live at the tar sands. The government doesn’t recognize these people, and these people have been dying of mysterious cancers. Their water is polluted, their animals are sick, and Mother Earth is sick. We’re here to make a difference. We’re here to be in solidarity with all of us who understand that we have a very slim opportunity to make human life continue to exist, and that’s our choice.
 Groups opposing coal production, nuclear power and hydraulic fracturing for natural gas participated in the protest as did a number of interfaith organizations. Several smaller parallel rallies were held in cities across the country. Hablaremos más sobre la manifestación “Forward on Climate” después de los titulares.
