#NoKXL!

Latest

“On this day [Nov. 6] in 2015, I was combining corn. I got a call from a national media source wanting my reaction to President Obama’s rejection [of the XL pipeline]. After quickly shutting the combine down, jumping out of the seat and hitting my head on the roof inside the cab. Wow! Was I excited and relayed that excitement to the reporter. Today , in 2019, landowners are being taken to court to have their land stolen by a foreign corporation for greed and destruction of the planet. We all stand strong to continue to protect the land, the water, and the people. #NoKXL!”

– Art Tanderup, a Nebraska farmer and a leader of the fight to stop construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
