SUPPORT THE DELTA 5

On September 2, 2014, five activists fighting against oil trains and fossil fuel expansion in Washington took their resistance to the next level and blockaded a train that was carrying explosive Bakken oil in the BNSF Delta rail yard in Everett.

Known as the Delta 5, our friends are headed to trial for their blockade – facing potential time in prison – and our movement needs to have their back.

That’s why we’ll be packing the courtroom on January 11 in Lynnwood to support them. Please join us. Click here to RSVP.

As you know the oil industry has been trying to increase the number of dangerous and dirty oil trains traveling through the Pacific Northwest. We’ve sent emails to public officials, packed meeting rooms, demonstrated and marched. And while we are fighting the expansion of refineries and export terminals, the Delta 5 remind us that to seriously address the climate crisis, we need to keep that oil in the ground. That’s why they’ll be pursuing a unique defense in court, arguing that their blockade was morally – and legally – justifiable given the imperatives of the climate crisis.

 So let’s make this a big splash. PLEASE RSVP HERE, and we hope to see you there on January 11. RSVPing will help us organize carpools.

Hope to see you there,
