Canadian Mayors Letter to President Obama

Green Jobs, Yes We Can
Tar Sands, No We Can’t

In the near future President Obama will make his first foreign visit to Canada. One of the significant items of discussion will concern energy and climate change.

Let’s make sure that President Obama doesn’t give Stephen Harper a free pass on the Tar Sands.

In the build-up to President Obama’s visit individuals and groups in Canada and the United States will be standing up and speaking out against the Tar Sands and its many social, environmental and economic costs.

Right now, Canadian mayors across the country are signing a letter to President Obama urging the United States to confront Tar Sands dirty oil and ensure that energy security and climate security go hand-in-hand.

Take Action Now!

Ask your local mayor if they have signed the letter, and if they have not, encourage them to sign on by emailing joecressy@polarisinstitute.org. You can find the letter at http://www.tarsandswatch.org/canadian-mayors-letter-obama

Thanks,
