In his inauguration speech this week, President Obama made it clear that tackling climate change would be a prominent issue in his second term. In the same speech, President Obama stated that we, the people, have the power to set this country's course.

Take that step on President’s Day weekend and join tens of thousands at the Forward on Climate rally in DC to stand up and reverse the course of climate change.

President Obama must move America Forward on Climate in 2013 with decisive action to reduce dangerous carbon pollution. Obama’s legacy as 44th President of the United States of America rests squarely on his leadership in the face of an unstable climate future. The first milestone for President Obama is to reject the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

Join me and thousands of others in DC on Sunday, February 17th over President’s Day weekend and show President Obama that the progressive movement and the communities that helped secure his victory are coming together to hold him to his promises.

As the President said, “We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.”

Don't let the President betray his promises, nor our future generations.

We'll see you in DC President's Day weekend.

Stop the Tar Sands!
