Here's a sample message to send to your friends:
Subject: Tell TransCanada: Stop brutalizing peaceful protesters
Dear Friend,On Tuesday, peaceful protesters blocking Keystone XL pipeline construction equipment in Texas were brutalized by police at the request and encouragement of TransCanada officials.
The two protesters, who had handcuffed themselves together on TransCanada's construction equipment, were subjected to choke holds, stress positions in which their free arms were handcuffed, contorted, and then pepper sprayed, burning their skin. They were then tased -- one of the activists was tased twice.
There is no excuse for subjecting peaceful, defenseless protesters to this level of violence.
Tell TransCanada Corporation: Stop brutalizing peaceful protesters.
