Subject: academics against the pipeline rally on Friday at 10:30 am

We are planning an "academics against the pipeline" event on Friday morning at 10:30 am at the corner of Centennial Way and Burnaby Mountain Parkway. We are encouraging faculty and students to attend. Bring signs. Bring friends. Show your opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal and the failure of our federal government to act on climate change. 

This is a lawful event. The boundaries of the injunction are clearly marked by police tape. We will gather at 10:30, listen to a few speeches then march up to the Kinder Morgan worksite. Every day since the injunction was enforced there have been a handful of brave souls willing to defy the injunction and get arrested. Likely, Friday will be no different. Some of them will say a few words at the rally or at the police line. 

Public transportation is recommended. Parking is very limited - park at the bottom of the hill or at the top of Curtis. Or walk down from SFU. Wear boots - its pretty muddy at the top. 

Kinder Morgan expects to be working on Burnaby Mountain for another week. Protests will continue at the same time every day they are there, so if you can't make it Friday you can go another day. 

Please pass this on to anyone you think might be interested.
