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 at escobar.jack@gmail.com\nDONATE: $5-20 sliding 
 scale, no one turned away for lack of funds\nGEAR DRIVE: The Tar Sands 
 Blockade has also put out a "wish list" for gear. We'll except exact items 
 from this list in exchange for admission as well.
