Three carbon pipelines have been proposed in the midwest, and all three cross the state of Iowa. These dangerous, unsound pipeline proposals our using our land and our tax dollars to enrich Wall Street, while Iowans are forced to burden the risks. **This is the first in a series of trainings for people fighting the carbon pipeline proposals in Iowa.**
Our elected officials need to act on this issue — are they standing with us, their constituents, or with the corporations looking to profit off of these unsafe, unproven co2 projects? We’re going to use a tactic called birddogging to force them to take a side.
Birddogging is making a concerted effort to continually show up at public or private events where an elected official or candidate is appearing to ask them their stance on an issue or to get them to make a commitment to take action on an issue. This is a critical way to engage with our elected officials around these carbon pipeline proposals. **Join us for a virtual training to learn how to effectively birddog!**
Time to face it —~it’s people or plastics.~We can’t have both.
