(Editor’s Note: The following invitation came to Blog for Iowa yesterday from Robert Nehman at the Allamakee County Protectors).

You’re invited to  a day of pipeline resistance activities on Thursday, July 9.

Objection Delivery:

At 10 a.m. we are hand-delivering to the Iowa Utility Board (IUB) 1375 E. Court Ave, Des Moines, IA 50319 about 2,000 objections to the pipeline.  We’d love to have you show up in full force to let the IUB know that we support clean water, a stable climate and healthy future generations – and that means we oppose this pipeline.

Strategy Session and Brown bag lunch:

At noon after the objection drop, we will gather at the offices of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement for a coalition-wide strategy session (2001 Forest Ave, Des Moines). We’d like to update you on the status of the IUB hearing, develop a calendar of strategic events and plan ways to guarantee that the IUB rejects this pipeline. But to do this well we need YOU! Please forward this message on to your networks.

Thanks friends! Let us know if you have any questions.
