Thank you to everyone who called Senator Bill Nelson’s office this week to express your opposition to the Sabal Trail Pipeline. Your calls are an important part of our work to continue pressing the senator to come out publicly against the project.
On December 29th, we held a protest at the senator’s Coral Gables office as part of the statewide day of action against the Sabal Trail Pipeline, and in January we delivered more than 88,000 signatures against the pipeline. We’ve also held half a dozen actions at Senator Nelson’s office asking him to speak on this issue, and we’ve coordinated bi-weekly calls with statewide environmental activist groups to develop our strategies for the next steps in escalating our campaign. Finally, in April we met with Senator Nelson (pictured above) to express our concerns about the pipeline and to press him to make a public statement.
We’ve also participated in several demonstrations and actions, including at the Sacred Water Camp near the Suwannee River. And we’ve met with state legislators in Tallahassee to let them know why the Sabal Trail Pipeline poses such enormous risks to our land and waters. I’ve also written about the issue, most recently in The Miami Herald (you can read my latest piece on it below), and we’re not done yet!
We’ll be back in touch in the coming weeks with other ways you can participate in this important grassroots campaign. The pipeline is getting closer and closer to completion – we need everyone’s help to stop this terrible project.
In solidarity,
Tim
