We turned a few heads and mic-checked the media to repeat our message by supplying impossible to ignore imagery for 6+ actions and events on multiple coasts of the continent all in 1 week. Coverage of the Forward On Climate Rally in DC against the Keystone XL Pipeline featured our Spine in the International Herald Tribune, above the fold in print in The New York Times and Washington Post, and multiple interviews on radio like NPR and a 4 minute-long interview broadcasted live in Chicago. At a local Washington rally our imagery helped enticed the cameras to broadcast our message and report on the issues on 3 TV stations. The long list of media coverage featuring Backbone last week included DemocracyNow!, CSPAN, USA Today, Reuters, Al Jazeera, and even a paper as far away as Spain, and many many more. Now, we need to turn this momentum and connections with new friends into compelling action. It's time to force the hands of our civil servants and inspire and engage our current and soon to be allies. With ongoing actions and trainings and preparations for 2 or more action camps this summer already underway, we need your support.
