Zenith 5 Plaintiff Jan Zuckerman: “We’re in a climate emergency. Everyday I see it on TV, I see it in the news, I read about it. It’s getting worse. And I’m scared. I’m trying to figure out how to live my life...And I have to do something.”

"We need a people powered movement to address the climate crisis - our governments have proven themselves to be incapable of dealing with this problem"

In "Valve Turners," directed by Steve Liptay, a team of climate activists shuts down pipelines carrying oil sands in one of the biggest coordinated moves on energy infrastructure in the American history. This is what #ClimateAction looks like.

"...the workers are also demonstrating organized labor’s power to bring the production and distribution of fossil fuels to a halt..." #shutitdown #keepitintheground

"Action on climate is a necessity," says @Columbia #climate scientist Dr. James Hansen discussing the #ClimateTrial in the @denverpost. We couldn't agree more.

Thanks to everyone who supported us at #ClimateTrail. It was an emotional week and our dear friend #AleBlakely did a wonderful job with this wrap up video

Shutting down tar sands pipelines is more necessary now than ever. Please RT if you agree.

[Climate Direct Action @ClimateDA]

2 years ago today, the valves were turned and the flow of Canadian tar sands was stopped. It was the most beautiful, hopeful thing: a reminder that the flow of oil can be stopped. Full 30-minute #ValveTurner interview @democracynow

"Necessity of the most desperate kind motivated the three activists who were on trial in Bagley, and they were right to turn the pipeline valve."
