October is long gone, but 100 actions don't stop!

          Last month, students at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville had a die in flash mob as part of the 100 actions to demand 100% clean energy. After the die in flashmob, we marched to the Chancellor's office to discuss shutting down the coal plant! We were able to set up a meeting with the Vice Chancellor, and last Tuesday, 6 students including myself met with the Vice Chancellor, Sustainability Manager, and the Associate Vice Chancellor of Facilities Services.

#NOKXL a Victory, but the Fight isn't Over Yet

by Jacquie Ayala, SEN Florida Organizer

We’ve made history. Yesterday, the Obama administration announced they would delay the decision on the Keystone XL pipeline until its environmental impacts have been re-reviewed.  This means a 12-18 month delay that most are projecting will effectively kill the project.
