Stop Trump from Reviving the Zombie Keystone XL Pipeline

Trump is trying to bring the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline back from the dead. Keystone XL threatens our environment across its entire 1,200-mile path. This massive pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels per day of tar sands oil—the planet's dirtiest fossil fuel—from Canada through the U.S. to the Gulf Coast for export. Congress can stop this assault on our environment, but they need to hear from you. Take action now!

Tell Congress to block the climate-torching Keystone XL pipeline project.

President Trump is trying to bring the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline back from the dead. We need your help to fight back today.

Tell Congress to block Trump's efforts to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline and protect our climate, water, and communities.

Keystone XL threatens our environment across its entire 1,200-mile path. This massive pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels per day of tar sands oil—the planet's dirtiest fossil fuel—from Canada through the U.S. to the Gulf Coast for export.

After more than a decade of protest, legal battles, and grassroots pressure from people like you, we defeated this dangerous pipeline when Biden revoked the construction permits on his first day in office in 2021. TC Energy officially abandoned the project that June.

But now Trump has rescinded Biden's order, and is attempting to resuscitate this zombie project again.

Congress can stop this assault on our environment, but we need your voice to counter the influence of the fossil fuel industry. Tell your lawmakers you’re counting on them to block the Trump administration's attempt to resurrect Keystone XL and protect our future.

Subject Block any attempt to resurrect Keystone XL pipeline

Dear Member of Congress,

Message Body

I'm writing to urge you to stand firmly against President Trump's new orders to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline.

After more than a decade of protests, legal battles, and grassroots pressure, this dangerous pipeline was finally stopped when President Biden revoked its permits in 2021 and TC Energy abandoned the project.

The Trump administration is trying to bring it back to life, despite overwhelming public opposition and obvious devastating environmental consequences.

Nothing about the project has changed. The Keystone XL still would:

• Transport 830,000 barrels daily of tar sands oil—the planet's dirtiest fossil fuel—with devastating consequences

• Threaten water supplies for millions of people along its 1,200-mile path

• Pollutes rivers, create toxic waste ponds that endanger wildlife, and harm Indigenous communities

• Worsen climate change while creating only a handful of permanent jobs

• Doing nothing to enhance U.S. energy independence, as the pipeline charts a path through America’s heartland to export refineries and facilities.

The fossil fuel industry’s false promises about jobs and energy security don't stand up to scrutiny. Without this pipeline, much of that dirty tar sands crude oil will remain in the ground—exactly where it needs to stay for the sake of our planet and future generations.

Please use your authority to block Trump's dangerous executive order and prevent the resurrection of this zombie pipeline.

Our climate and communities depend on your leadership.

Thank you.
