Secretary Kerry Called to Scrap Keystone XL Pipeline, Protestors Sit-in at Boston Federal Building

BOSTON/West End - Secretary of State John Kerry was called upon Monday to put a halt to construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. 

Environmental activists marched to the Tip O’Neill Federal Building near North Station, and staged a peaceful sit-in at the building’s entrances. Demonstrators demanded that Secretary Kerry rule that the production of tar sands oil is not in the national interest, and called the pipeline “game over” for the climate. Senior Campaign Manager for Credo Action, a progressive multi-issue advocacy organization, Elijah Zarlin explained the demonstration.
