This Friday, March 6, join us for “DOUBLE STRIKE: Renewables Now/People Over Pipelines” on Russell Street in Missoula:
Join the “Renewables Now” #climatestrike at NorthWestern Energy, 1903 Russell St, OR join strikers across the street from NorthWestern at the “People Over Pipelines” strike at Wells Fargo bank, 1800 S Russell St (strikers will be on the Russell side of bank almost directly across from NorthWestern Energy).
The “People Over Pipelines” strike is meant to show our opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline which is being fast-tracked through northeastern Montana this spring. We are also standing in solidarity with Montanans rallying in opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline in Great Falls on Friday as well, where one of the lawsuits challenging the KXL (with plaintiffs Sierra Club, Northern Plains Resource Council, Natural Resources Defense Center, Bold Alliance, and Friends of the Earth) is scheduled for a hearing in federal district court. Sign our petition to show your opposition and join us on Friday!
The ongoing “Renewables Now” strike at NorthWestern Energy shines a spotlight on the ongoing poor choices from NorthWestern. NorthWestern Energy could be leading our state in renewable energy development and helping to build a bright future for all Montanans. But instead, they are discounting the impacts of the climate crisis on Montana families, and doubling down on coal and fossil fuel infrastructure, to reap more profits at the expense of our pocketbooks and our futures.
This is not the time to be building fossil fuel infrastructure!

Why #climatestrike?
We are part of a global movement and our presence is an affirmation of the need for strong, immediate climate action, as well as recognizing the importance of supporting our youth and connecting as a community. When you join a strike, you affirm for everyone that the climate crisis worries you, and you want action.
