Tar Sands Blockade Solidarity Event 3/19
Tar Sands Blockade Solidarity Event
Date: | Tuesday, March 19, 2013 |
Time: | 5:00 PM to 6:15 PM |
Presented by: | Delaware Chapter |
Leader: | Stephanie Herron - 302-468-4550 stephanie.herron@sierraclub.org |
Location: | Newark Amtrak, Newark, DE 19713, USA |
Join us on Tuesday in Newark for a Delaware anti-tarsands action during the national Tar Sands Blockade week of action! We'll hold our tar sands banner and signs in front of the very place where the toxic tar sands are being held in rail cars as they wait to be unloaded and processed at the Delaware City refinery.
Delaware is getting railroaded by tar sands which are are not only 3x worse for our warming climate but much more carcinogenic and polluting to refine. As you know, the last thing Delaware needs is more cancer-causing air pollution. Join us on Tuesday to take a stand against tar sands in our state and be a part of the growing international movement to keep dirty tar sands in the ground!
You can park in the Amtrak parking lot near the bottom of the bridge and we'll meet up at the base of the bridge at 5pm. If you need an address for a GPS, you can use 429 South College Avenue, Newark, DE to get in the right general area.

A timebank update-- We have a dedicated timebank group that should

chosen is DE HOUR EXCHANGE. There are three people who will be sharing
the administrative role for now, and several of us who are actively reaching
out to groups that are interested in being involved.. Please send us an e mail
