DESCRIPTION:San Francisco Solidarity: Fighting the Keystone XL Pipeline in 
 Texas\n\nSolidarity Event & Fundraiser for the Tar Sands Blockade\n\nSince 
 the spring, climate activists have teamed up Texas landowners to fight the 
 southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline being built from Cushing, OK to 
 Port Arthur, TX. A diverse and unusual coalition has formed in the woods of 
 East Texas to use non-violent direct action to stop this awful project 
 (imagine Earth First! teaming up with the Tea Party).\n\nSince August, 
 activists have used a variety of blockades to delay the construction of the 
 pipeline. Multiple actions have occurred on destruction sites. For over two 
 weeks, a daring tree-sit has taken place stopping construction in it's 
 tracks.\n\nTransCanada has responded with eminent domain against landowners 
 and lawsuits against any that oppose them. Law enforcement has responded 
 with violence, Tasers, pepper spray and elevated charges against 
 activists.\n\nNow environmental activists from all over the continent are 
 heading to Texas to join the Tar Sands Blockade. And we want to help them. 
 Members of Rising Tide North America in the Bay Area are organizing a 
 solidarity event and fundraiser to help provide material and financial 
 support for our comrades in the piney woods of Texas.\n\nEvent to 
 include:\n-Reportback and panel on the Tar Sands Blockade with climate 
 activists working in solidarity with them.\n-Amazing videos from 
 Texas\n-Video call-in with folks from the Tar Sands Blockade\n-Snacks, 
 booze.\n\nWHAT:Solidarity event and fundraiser for the Tar Sands 
 Blockade\nWHERE:518 Valencia\nWHEN: Friday, Nov 2 630pm-930pm\nCONTACT:Jack
