Today marks the two year anniversary of President Biden’s killing of the KeystoneXL pipeline.

The results?
Union member: “I’m 45 years old and I’m a member of Local 798, Pipeliners Union. I’ve been a pipeliner for 21 years. This is all I know how to do. The recent administration has taken my livelihood from me and expected me to get a job somewhere else. I’ve got my whole life invested in this.”
Union member: “I was at home, in the camper watching the inauguration happening when my husband called me at 2:00. And he says ‘babe, start packing up the camper, we’re going home’. I said ‘what are you talking about’. He said, ‘Biden shut it down’.
“Biden’s decisions to shut down the KeystoneXL pipeline and many others affects me and my family of five very much so.”
