Arrested for the first time

Erich Pica, President of Friends of the Earth, describes his arrest at the White House fence alongside 47 other leaders to protest the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. He argues that denying the pipeline is a moral obligation for the U.S. president to avoid a future of climate chaos and to support affected communities in Nebraska and Texas.

• Erich Pica and 47 other environmental and progressive leaders, including Bill McKibben, Mike Brune, and Dr. James Hansen, were arrested at the White House fence to demand that the Obama administration not approve the Keystone XL pipeline.
• The protest aimed to represent the interests of communities in Nebraska and Texas fighting the pipeline, as well as Friends of the Earth members globally who are calling for action against climate chaos.
