Text version:
Islanders are invited to take part in a countywide “Salish Sea Stands” day of action on MLK Day, Monday, January 16 against the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion to the United States. The Trans Mountain Pipeline, owned by Kinder Morgan, received approval from the Canadian government to proceed. The project will affect the Salish Sea by radically increasing the number of tankers transporting crude oil in our waters.
Events will be held at the following locations:
San Juan County Park Boat Launch, 12 p.m.
Odlin County Park on Lopez 11-12:30 p.m.
Shaw County Park, 12 p.m.
Eastsound Waterfront Day Park on Orcas, 11 a.m.
You can also join in on the inter-island ferry for a teach-in and letter writing opportunity starting on the 12:25 west bound sailing from Orcas.
