On Monday December 3rd, Diane Wilson walked out of the Harris County Jail a free woman after being arrested for blockading a Valero Refinery. But her act of civil disobedience didn't end there: she's been on a hunger strike for 13 days, and says she won't stop until Valero divests from the Keystone XL pipeline.

By the time you read this I will be actively engaged in a non-violent direct action designed to bring awareness to the construction of the southern leg of the Keystone XL Pipeline, to this country's continuing use of our cherished Gulf Coast as the nation's energy sacrifice zone, and in defense of our Mother Earth.
If TransCanada has its way, almost 1.1 million barrels of tar sands oil - the world’s dirtiest, most toxic, and most difficult-to-clean-up-when-it-spills oil - will roll down the Keystone XL pipeline to the Gulf of Mexico.
With news that President Obama will fast track the building of the southern leg of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, Texans in its path say their health and property rights are endangered by a torrent of corrosive tar sands oil from Canada.
In Washington today, hundreds of people from all walks of life packed a State Department hearing at the massive Ronald Reagan office building, ready for one last-ditch effort to fend off the proposed Keystone XL pipeline.
Community groups from all over Texas are gathering to unite in opposition over the planned Keystone XL pipeline Sunday, September 18, 2011. The Canadian project reportedly cost more to construct than the value of the expensive tar sands oil it will carry from Alberta, Canada to Port Arthur and Houston, Texas.
My goal over the next couple of days before setting off to Biloxi, MS, for the GCERT and Gulf Future meetings, is to spend every waking moment hugging on my babies. But, I did want to take a minute, as they sleep, to tell you a little about the last few days in D.C. and N.Y. and how proud I am to have been a part of it.
More than a year after the BP well was plugged, Gulf coast residents now face an oil threat from a new direction; a proposed 1700-mile pipeline that would provide a steady stream of raw Canadian tar sands crude from Alberta to huge polluting refineries in Texas. That’s raised the ire of Gulf residents who refuse to be the dumping ground for more dirty and dangerous oil industry operations.
