Two critical issues are on the agenda for the week of March 16 to 23 with solidarityactions across the country. Each shows the worst of big finance capitalism how profitcomes before the planet and people. Participate!

Nationwide actions against the Tar Sandsfocus on the corporate profiteers behind theexpansion of the planet-devastating mining of the Alberta Tar Sands and the KeystoneXL pipeline which will bring tar sands crud to the Gulf of Mexico for processing andexport. We seek to stop the most destructive environmental project on Earth to preserveany hope for a livable planet.The corporate strip-mining of our future for profit will onlybe stopped by widespread direct action.

Action is particularly important now because reports from this weeks meeting betweenPresident Obama and the Republicans indicate that Obama promised the Keystone XLpipeline will be approved. It will be up to the people to stop the suicidal actions of the bi-partisans in Washington, DC.

Earlier this week there wasan inspiring action in Massachusetts where more than 100climate justice activists, many of them college students, went to the NortheastTransCanada headquarters and held a Funeral for Our Future, that resulted in twodozen arrests. The video of their song to TransCanada, They are digging us a hole.Six feet underground, where our future will go. We will lay down our bodies is one we

urge you to watch and share.

Get the facts! Order the new Tar Sands Occucard to to hand out to people during youraction. Order today so the cards arrive in time.

To find a Stop Tar Sands Profiteers action or create one, go here.

The other week long action is Strike Debt Healthcare Action Week: Life or Debt.Medical debt is literally killing patients, providers and communities. It deepens theentrenched inequalities that divide races, classes, and genders. The U.S. healthcaresystem doesnt make us well; it puts profiting from illness first, placing financial barriers

between patients and accessto care. In reaction to thissystem, Strike Debts RollingJubilee initiative will make abig announcement in

March.It has bought andabolished a large amount of

medical debt. Whilethousands will be helped byStrike Debt, 70 millionAmericans continue with theburden of medical debt.

Help use this moment to educate the country that there should be no medical debt andno medical bankruptcies. Indeed, the U.S. is the only developed country where this

health care economic crisis exists; 62% of personal bankruptcies are linked to medicalbills and illness and three-quarters of those people had health insurance when theirillness began; and 86% of doctors begin their professional lives with medical schooldebt. A national single payer health systemwould end medical debt and bankruptcy. Formore information or to list an action visit: [email protected].

While we participate in protests to put the planet and people ahead of profit, we want tobring to your attention to a hunger strike that is in its fifth week at the Guantanamo Bayprison. Witness Against Torture reports that more than half of the 166 men in the prisonhave been cleared for release, with no charges of terrorism or any crime, but they wait,

lingering while the callous and dysfunctional U.S. government ignores their basic humanrights. These prisoners choose to resist after 11 years of indefinite detention with noend to their suffering in sight in a piece of hell that kills everything as one now deadprisoner described the prison. Don't let their action go unnoticed - call the White House,write letters to the editor, organize a visibility action.

Let us know about actions you are taking so we can share them with others. We gainconfidence and courage from each other, so let us hear from you.

In peace and solidarity,Kevin, Margaret and October2011/OccupyWashingtonDC
