Seven brave blockaders were arrested for stopping a pipe truck and completely cutting off all transportation of pipes to the southern segment of Keystone XL for the entire day!
**UPDATE: 3:00PM **UPDATED 8/30 1:00PM- THANK YOU EVERYONE!
We're All In This Together!
Thank you Ray, Denny, Jane, Max, Tammie, Chris, and Audrey! Hats off! Y’all are amazing!!
Now that all of our sweet Jail Birds are free from their cages to sing about TransCanada’s plan to steal land and ruin futures, we wanted to take a minute to thank you all for participating in this action with us!
We know we have a huge fight ahead, but we organize forward with more steam and more support than ever for our landowner allies, downstream indigenous communities, and the struggle to prevent catastrophic climate change!
We’ve been blown away so far by the response on not only our Facebook and Twitter feeds but in the greater media world as well! Check out this great coverage of our work so far:
- Discovery Channel’s Treehugger.com business and corporate responsibility blogger, Brian Merchant, covered our Livingston Lockdown action in a post yesterday!
- The Washington Post’s Steven Mufson wrote a very succinct post about our blockade action yesterday morning in his Keystone: Down the Line blog, which included a supportive quote about our blockade tactics from Tom “Smitty” Smith, Director of Public Citizen’s Texas Office asserting, “They are not going to endanger themselves or other people, but they will make their point consistently and effectively.”
- Dirty Tar Sands wrote a fantastic piece tying together what the Republican National Convention, the Obama Administration’s new fuel standards and our seven blockade arrests in Texas have in common – yep, it’s Keystone XL!!
- Lufkin/Nacogdoches local ABC affiliate, KTRE, covered our story with a 2-minute broadcast news story that afforded us an unprecedented platform on which to share our Tar Sands Blockade story! Watch it here!
- Our very own Candice Bernd has a wonderful report published today covering our action for Truth-Out!
- We got a short article (in German) via the EU Environmental Bureau Austria’s weekly newsletter, which is read by thousands of mainly Germans, Austrians, Swiss, and throughout Europe by European folks interested in environmental policy and developments. They even linked to this very liveblog!
- Julie Thibodeaux at Green Source DFW wrote an article that deals with the evolution of our organization and our current actions!
- Politico’s Alex Guillen mentioned us in his “Morning Energy” column this morning, in which he posts a link to the KTRE story, which you can watch here!
- Eco Watch has posted our story to their readers!
- Iowa City Press Citizen published an editorial from four Tar Sands Action arrestees who mention our blockade work!
- Inside Climate News shared about us with their readers through a story gathered from the KTRE story! Again, you can watch it here!
- FirstPost.com, an English-language Indian news site, reposted our KTRE story using our YouTube-archived version!
And it’s only day two! So as you can see, this manifestation of the compelling story of these landowners and their supporters, of the intersections of climate justice and property rights, of the Tar Sands Blockade IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!
We’re All In This Together! One Big Flock of Jail Birds!

In other news, the story of our blockaders and their stance in solidarity with rural landowners facing eminent domain seizure of their homes is being picked up in the greater blogosphere! EcoWatch.org has posted our story to their readers, and DirtyTarSands.org wrote a fantastic piece tying together what the Republican National Convention, the Obama Administration’s new fuel standards and our seven arrests in Texas have in common – you guess it, it’s Keystone XL!!
Stay tuned with us! There will be more news tomorrow and moving forward as always! We’re in this to win this! TransCanada’s will come to rue the day they decided to steal land in Texas!
**UPDATE: 12:00AM – Still Waiting for our Heroes!

*NOTE: The amount listed as “raised” is archaic…
**UPDATE: 9:00PM – 4 Blockaders Are Still Locked Up! Free the Remaining Livingston 7!
Multigenerational Resistance, Intergenerational Solidarity - Max & Ray
Max, a climate organizer, and Ray, a small businessman from Houston, remain in jail! As do #LoneStarTammie, a proud Texas grandma, and Chris, a rural farmer from Fannin County. We expect them to be released from jail sometime after midnight. But please hold our brave friends in your thoughts.
Also! Thanks Treehugger.com for helping bring visibility to our buddies and their civil disobedience in solidarity with landowners being railroaded in Texas courts like Julia Trigg Crawford.
NO EMINENT DOMAIN for PRIVATE GAIN! NO COMPROMISE in preventing CLIMATE CHANGE!
**UPDATE: 7:10PM – FREE TAMMIE CARSON!
From her son, Erik, via the Facebook:
#LoneStarTammie has been before the judge and bail has been set but the Sheriffs Dept. has refused to book her in a timely manner and now despite there being someone there to pay for her release, we are being told it may be hours before they will return her to us… FREE TAMMIE CARSON!! — at Polk County Jail.
**UPDATE: 5:30PM – WE SHUT THEM DOWN!
Today we closed the tar sands pipe yard for 5 hours. And because the authorities were forced to dismantle the truck to make arrests, WE COMPLETELY CUT OFF ALL TRANSPORTATION OF PIPES TO THE SOUTHERN SEGMENT OF KEYSTONE XL CONSTRUCTION FOR THE WHOLE DAY!
We’re told that empty pipeline trucks were seen driving aimlessly around the region.
Again, we witness the power of bringing together those battling corporate eminent domain abuse and those fighting to defend our natural commons from the unconscionable harm of surface mining and catastrophic climate change. Both are struggles to defend HOMES, and together we can and WILL win the uphill battle to STOP KEYSTONE XL!
All 7 arrestees are now in police custody and are being processed!
Please support the movement that supports their courageous action! Generous donations may be given here:
THANK YOU!
**UPDATE: 4:10PM – Check out all the new photos from today’s Keystone XL shutdown

**UPDATE: 1:30PM – Victory! Keystone XL pipe yard construction stopped for the day
All of our blockaders are safely in jail, and the entrance to the yard remains blocked! The police dismantled the truck to extract them so the pipe yard remains effectively shut down for the day.
Every day of delay is a victory. Allowing us to shed light on the dangers of toxic tar sands pipeline.
**UPDATE: 1:20PM – Final blockader arrested. Total of 7 arrested today
The final blockader, #LoneStarTammie, has been arrested and put in police car.
**UPDATE: 1:10PM – Police are dismantling truck axle.
One blockader is holding tight! The 3 others have been arrested. 1 of 6 arrested so far is a journalist.
**UPDATE: 1:00PM – Chris Voss, an East Texas farmer was just arrested. Here is why he joined Tars Sands Blockade
Chris Voss, another participant in today’s action, is concerned for the health and safety of not only his own family, but his entire rural Fannin County, TX community. “Tar sands pipelines have a terrifying history of leaks,” Chris laments. “Keystone XL threatens our water, which is part of the commons. I can’t just stand aside while our collective commons are being taken, controlled, and polluted.”
**UPDATE: 12:30PM – Workers are giving water to our blockaders.
Human compassion shines brighter than Keystone XL’s industrial devastation!
**UPDATE: 12:00PM – Another Sheriff SUV just arrived.
There are currently 7 law enforcement vehicles on site, and we’re not backing down!! This is just the beginning.
ALL YOUR PIPE ARE BELONG TO US
**UPDATE: 11:30AM – State Troopers have Arrived! Police are Threatening “Pain Compliance” if Blockaders Don’t Release from Truck
Careful with our friends who know that the cost of inaction is far riskier! Three support blockaders have been arrested. Four remain locked to undercarriage of pipeline truck. SHARE for their SAFETY and the safety of all who will come next!! This is only the beginning! – bit.ly/kxlfj2

**10:00AM – 4 Blockaders Have Locked Themselves to a Pipe-carrying Truck In Livingston, TX, bringing construction on the Keystone XL pipeline to a stop!!
Just minutes ago four landowner advocates and climate justice organizers have locked themselves to the underside of a massive truck carrying 36″ pipe intended for Keystone XL construction. The truck is parked, idled at the entrance of the pipeyard, rendering construction activity impossible. Seven blockaders total are onsite risking arrest. We will be getting photos and video throughout the day, but check out our testimonial video below (click the picture) of some of today’s blockade participants.
Blockaders from the Red River valley to the Gulf Coast are uniting to realize their collective vision of a world without toxic tar sands pipelines being forced through the homes of families who don’t want them. Today’s message is clear: the people are rising up to defend their homes.
This act of peaceful civil disobedience comes in the wake of a recent court decision condoning TransCanada’s use of eminent domain for private gain. Last week Lamar County Judge Bill Harris ruled in a shockingly abbreviated fifteen-word summary judgment that Texas farmer Julia Trigg Crawford cannot challenge TransCanada’s claim that it is entitled to a piece of her home. The underwhelming ruling was emailed to Ms. Crawford’s attorney late in the evening of August 15 from the Judge’s iPhone.
**Live Blog: Visit this page throughout the day for breaking updates on actions happening in the region.
The arrogant disregard levied at landowners like Julia Trigg Crawford for simply not consenting to have a tar sands pipeline permanently bisect their homes is what motivated Houston businessman Ray Torgerson to take action with the Blockade. “The fact that this corporation can check a box on a form and steal someone’s land is insulting,” Ray says. “We are here to defend our homes and stand with landowners like Julia.”
Further emblematic of the disrespect small town families like the Crawfords have faced throughout Keystone XL legal proceedings, Ms. Crawford received first notice of the ruling from a reporter seeking comment who had been blind carbon copied on the County Judge’s email ruling.
“It was heartbreaking to hear a generational family farm like the Crawford’s can be taken away by a multinational corporation,” exclaims blockader Audrey Steiner, a linguistic anthropologist from Austin. “I’m here to change the direction our country is taking.”
Crawford’s challenge to TransCanada’s “common carrier” status was supported by a recent Texas Supreme Court case Texas Rice Land Partners v. Denbury Green Pipeline, but Judge Harris clearly ignored what should have been a precedent-setting ruling.
As appeals wind through the legal system, pipeline construction continues.
**PHOTOS ARE ON THEIR WAY!
The concerns of the blockaders today go well beyond TransCanada’s appalling contempt for property rights. As Tammie Carson, a lifelong Texan living in Arlington explains, “I’m doing this for my grandchildren. I’m outraged that multinational corporations like TransCanada are wrecking our climate. The planet isn’t theirs to destroy, and I’m willing to take a risk to protect my grandchildren’s future.”
Denny Hook, a retired Methodist minister from Gainesville Texas, describes himself as “An environmentalist that happens to be a minister.” In taking action today, Hook hopes to inspire more people to join the movement. “Things are so dire that if all of us don’t rise up we won’t make it. This pipeline is the difference between Earth on the edge and Earth over the edge.”
In the face of this waking nightmare, blockaders have little choice but to act out of conscience. We simply have no time left to wait for the legislative to catch up with the judicial. We won’t allow our homes and our futures to slip through regulatory loopholes!
Tar Sands Blockade is a coalition of Texas and Oklahoma landowners and climate organizers using peaceful and sustained civil disobedience to stop the construction of Keystone XL.
“The blockade is an expression of people who have spent years using every available avenue afforded to them, and nothing has worked,” explains Tar Sands Blockade spokesperson Ron Seifert. “The urgency of this crisis is galvanizing supporters who understand that doing nothing involves a greater risk than taking action.”

Thank you for doing so much! This action takes place shortly after the anniversary of the Battle of Blair Mountain.
For one week during 1921, armed, striking coal miners battled scabs, a private militia, police officers and the US Army. 100 people died, 1,000 were arrested, and one million shots were fired. It was the largest armed rebellion in America since the Civil War. It didn’t end well for those miners, but eventually they won at the ballot box.
Here’s hoping we win this battle more quickly than they did.

We should be protesting at the White House again.
It troubles me to no end that we STILL have so many sons and daughters dying while defending foreign oil, when we can do it more environmentally safely here on US soil. It would be nice if we could just stop ALL oil production now, but the immediate effect would mean millions of people being harmed because of reduced tax revenue from Big Oil and an even slower economy.
There’s no easy solution, but *protecting* Middle Eastern oil — when we can safely get it from US shores — makes no sense whatsoever.

As Ghandi stated:
“Non‐cooperation with evil is a sacred duty.”
“You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul. Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.”
Safe passage for all those involved in this latest protest!

HOW MUCH WAS THE JUDGE PAID? HOW MUCH BLOOD MONEY HAS CORRUPTED THIS ENTIRE JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCESS? The masters of TransCanada and other organized crime corporations act as if this pipeline is critical to the survival of the Earth. As one might expect of minds in the throes of perverse and twisted logic, they fail to see that the survival of the Earth depends on the ABSENCE OF THESE PIPES. They will extract all the resources, all the profits, erect fortunes of billions, build compounds and luxuries in which they are immune to the breakdown of environments and systems they have caused, and leave the general population to live in the mess they have created. This is not just a breach of political and social faith. This is grounds for revolution. And the folks from Homeland Security or whoever have just read the dissent I wrote. There, I said it. Come and get me.

A big proportion of Canadians are against, and fighting Tarsands, this pipeline, and another line the same company wants to run across the Province of Northern British Columbia. But we are a country with a small population. We absolutely need your action against the power of money that this Corporation has.

Tar sands are seen to be needed by ESSO because they want the control of the oil production and resources. Oil is not entirely necessary, but Esso has tried to block other sources of gas like hydrogen which can be produced by anyone’s engine for a container of water will produce enough hydrogen gas for a 1000 miles in a car saving around 30 — 50% in fuel costs. Many truckers have worked out a kit for their truck and have taken part in demonstrations against the costs of fuel to the trucking industry. But Esso do not want people to know how to produce gas on route apart from vegetable-type fuels which is well known! They want to have a monopoly on the production of gas.

I don’t understand how Judge Harris’ ruling can overrule the Texas Supreme Court’s ruling. I thought the Supreme Court was SUPREME, –the final say. And if that’s the case, it seems like the Sheriffs should be protecting the blockakers because they are trying to uphold the law.
Thank you all….

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYBdeliiU1c This is an audio I made trying to get the dispatcher to remind the Sheriff that we are watching on the internet and to not use violence on peaceful protestors…..I’m not advocating that next time we jam the 911 lines for obvious reasons, but the public feels so helpless when they are cannot be there and we don’t want to help……let’s commit to printing this blockade logo and taping it to a window at home, or in the car, or pinning it on our clothes and make this logo visible!!!!

I’m keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Here in New York, we are facing the possibility of fracking, which is known to pollute the aquifers. Without clean water, nothing – but nothing! – can survive. No amount of money can pay to repair an ecology once it’s damaged. Greed – the *true* reason for the end of the world…

I had a small organic farm in Central Kansas. In 2010 TransCanada constructed the Keystone Cushing Extension Pipeline. TransCanada corrupted the Kansas Legislature for total property tax exemption and were able to win in every single eminent domain case that they took to court in Kansas. Beware, they are a ruthless and devious company capable of anything to gain the enormous profits from tarsands extraction. I sold my farm after 32 years of ownership in part because I could not bear to live next to this travesty of environmental justice. Last time I checked Jim Prescott is TransCanada spokesperson, his contact numbers are 708-488-1881 phone and 708-717-2110 cell, give him a call and tell him to call off the illegal taking of land and stop the construction of the southern section of the Keystone XL. All of my support goes to the brave folks of Livingston and stay strong and focused.
Peace, Harry E. Bennett

Monday night’s radio interview on “Texas Matters” carried Mrs. Crawford’s reaction to the flawed judgement. All’s fine until the moderator call the pipeline “an oil pipeline”. This is how they get over. No mention of poison tar thinned and carried by a dozen known carcinogens in the pipe or the Kalimazoo River Blow Out sickening the entire county. And it still is not cleaned up 2 years and millions of bucks later.

Thank You for your conviction. “Have you been to jail for justice–then you’re a friend of mine”. Those of us here on this site support you, now we must convince the rest of the world. It is going to take all of us, in every small way we can. Stand up to businesses everywhere, question authority, vote those that are against us out. They are trying to hide their actions behind this financial meltdown they have artificially caused. Divide and conquer. What’s wrong with the sun, the wind and the water for our energy needs. I know some are against these too, but considering the alternatives these are our only hope.

If you want to support other countries, then by God go and chain yourself and your idiot friends to their equipment over there. Its common sense people. Hell, half of you probably dont even own land near or on tract. Again people, get a clue and a life

I’m from Canada too and we are doing everything we can to stop the filthy tarsands projects. We not only have the KXL pipeline but a twinned line proposed across BC to the Pacific and expansions of a twinned line into the heart of Vancouver city to bring supertankers into the harbour with only a meter or so of clearance under them. But, support for the opposition is building and there appears to be hope that one or both of the pipelines will not be built.

For all protestors, stop buying CITGO gasoline or diesel fuel as it is from the oil sands of Hugo Chsvez. Yes, ignorance is bliss. You are buying oil sands based fuels at Citgo stations as almost all the oil from Venezeula is refined from oil sands. Canada upgrades the heavy crude from the oil sands before it is refined as finished gasoline or diesel fuel or jet fuel. In fact, after upgrading in Canada and then shipped or refined, the fuels are cleaner than normal light oil after refining. Those are the true facts so all these protestors must be commies working to promote Hugo Chavez as he nears election time this fall.

Another thing I have noticed is for many people, below-average credit is the result of circumstances over and above their control. By way of example they may happen to be saddled with an illness and as a consequence they have large bills going to collections. It could be due to a job loss or inability to do the job. Sometimes divorce or separation can truly send the money in an opposite direction. Thanks sharing your opinions on this website.
