Michigan Bus Captain Needed for KXL Rally
ORGANIZATION: SIERRA CLUB Michigan Chapter
Please visit the new page to apply.
Lead a bus from Michigan to Lincoln, Nebraska to rally against the Keystone XL pipeline and March to Give KXL the Boot on Sunday, August 6th!
Nebraska's Public Service Commission has the ability to stop the Keystone XL pipeline ONCE AND FOR ALL ahead of their vote this fall, and we need to show them that Michigandersstand with Nebraska against this dirty and dangerous project.
We’re marching in solidarity with hundreds of Nebraskans, along with Water Protectors and dirty fuels Pipeline Fighters from near and far, ahead of a week-long set of Keystone XL intervenor hearings at the Nebraska Public Service Commission. We need you there with us to send the message that Keystone XL is a threat to our land, water, and climate, and is not in the public interest. The March will conclude with a rally at the Nebraska State Capitol.
Since this will be slightly more than a one-day trip for us Michiganders, we'll be boarding a bus the evening of Saturday, August 5th to arrive in the morning in time for a regional skillshare with coalition partners across the Mid-West so that we can bring new skills back with us to our local campaign work as well.
We need your help to lead the bus. We encourage you to speak with local volunteers and to invite friends, family and community to join us for this moment of solidarity against the KXL pipeline. We'll help set up bus logistics, figure out tickets and subsidize the cost. Your job on the ground is to fill the bus with as many passionate marchers as possible to help send our message loud and clear!
If you're interested in leading a bus to Lincoln or have questions, please email Anna at anna.mcdevitt@sierraclub.org.
Let’s stop Keystone XL once and for all, folks!
In solidarity,
Anna McDevitt

Mission Statement
The Sierra Club's members and supporters are more than 3 million of your friends and neighbors. Inspired by nature, we work together to protect our communities and the planet. Founded in 1892, the Club is America's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization. Our mission is to: (1) Explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth; (2) Practice and promote the responsible use of the earth’s ecosystems and resources; (3) Educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and (4) Use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.
Description
Since 1967, the Michigan Chapter of the Sierra Club has organized the bold action of citizens working together to protect and restore our Great Lakes state’s health and heritage.
Our members care about clean water and air, wild biodiversity, and a safe energy future. They help us work towards these goals by supporting our efforts to:
- Raise public awareness of human health and environmental threats.
- Monitor water quality to help enforcement efforts.
- Build coalitions for our issue campaigns to diversify support.
- Find sensible policy solutions to our state’s problems.
- Take legal action to stop corporate interests and government from harming public health and resources.
- Fight for environmental democracy -- we lobby on critical environmental issues and report back on lawmakers’ actions -- we have a strong citizen lobbyist program, helping connect members to their lawmakers on important issues, and we also rally voters to elect pro-environment leaders.
We work to provide
- communities free from poisonous waste;
- clean energy from local renewable sources that grow our economy and reduce dependence on dirty fossil fuels;
- wild places that provide clean rivers, wildlife habitat, and opportunities to fish, hunt, hike, and learn about the natural world;
- and active participation in a democracy that ensures our elected officials fairly represent their voters, not special interests.
