#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!
