Dozens of rallies are now in the works. Next up on the list are protests in Nebraska, California, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fight has become very much inside the halls of Congress, but people across the country need to have their say, too,\u201d said 350.org Campaign Director, Phil Aroneanu. \u201cKeystone XL is the type of extreme energy project that could be showing up in everyone\u2019s back-yard if we don\u2019t get off of fossil fuels now.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Boston, 350.org volunteers teamed up with local groups and the city\u2019s Occupy movement to call out Sen. Brown on his dirty energy money connections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7057\/6847758683_cf47ab1cc2.jpg\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 333px; \"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the head referee at the Super Bowl had taken $1.9 million from the New York Giants, the people of Boston would have taken to the streets in protest. This is no different,\u201d said Occupy Boston member Shoshana Blank, who wire a referee outfit this afternoon. \u201cScott Brown cannot objectively vote on the Keystone XL pipeline when the fossil fuel industry has paid him off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>350.org is just three years old, but has quickly grown to one of the largest grassroots environmental networks in the country, with hundreds of thousands of members spanning all 50 states. The group\u2019s founder, Bill McKibben, who led the initial Keystone XL sit-ins and protests at the White House last year, explained that the pipeline has become a key way to test the commitment of politicians to environmental priorities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last six months, this has emerged as the most important environmental issue of Obama&#8217;s first term,\u201d said McKibben. \u201cIt&#8217;s the issue on which most normal Americans will judge our politicians backbone in standing up to fossil fuel interests.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>We just sent out this press release about another great referee action in Boston organized by the 350.org Action Fund, our amazing 350.org volunteers in Boston, a whole host of local environmental groups, and the Occupy Boston movement.
