We Lit Up John Kerry’s Office – With History (#NoKXL)
The State Department and John Kerry asked the public for comment on the Keystone XL pipeline. So we decided to project a few of the 2 million public comments against the pipeline...right ONTO the State Dept's front door!
WATCH:
Massive thanks to 350.org, the Illuminator Crew, NYC Light Brigade, We Act Radio, Fossil Free AU, and everyone else who made this possible.

#IlluminateDC: We Lit Up the State Dept and the EPA!
On Thursday, March 6th, The Other 98% teamed up with light projection artists to shine messages protesting the Keystone XL pipeline directly onto the U.S. State Department. Using “The Illuminator,” a large-scale, high-intensity projector, we projected comments from ordinary Americans asking Secretary of State John Kerry to reject Keystone XL.
We were joined by local climate activists from 350.org, Fossil Free AU, and some really awesome concerned citizens who showed up in the bitter cold. We gathered at the Foggy Bottom Metro and took a few photos before marching to the State Dept!
At the State Dept, we assembled with our "NO KXL" light brites, led some chants, and did a number of speak outs against the pipeline!
Finally, a smaller group ended the night with some amazing projections onto the Environmental Protection Agency, lighting up their columns with "SOS" messages.
The Other 98% has called on both the State Department and the Environmental Protection Agency to reject Keystone XL. To learn more, please see our two short videos telling these Agencies that Big Oil is not too Big to Fight:
