URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline for good! Take action
now!

In 2016, water protectors were brutalized by police and sprayed with water cannons in below-freezing temperatures as they tried to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline -- a reckless
project to carry crude oil from North Dakota to Illinois through sacred lands
and waterways that communities rely on for drinking water.

The Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes led the resistance, but
the federal government sided with fossil fuel companies. In came trucks and
excavation machines to tear through the Earth. Now seven years later, crude oil
runs though Indigenous lands every day, risking a catastrophic spill.

But there’s good news. Because of the continued resistance of the Sioux Tribes,
a court recently ordered a new environmental assessment from the Army Corps of
Engineers, giving you another chance to SHUT DOWN the Dakota Access pipeline! This could be our last best shot, Friend, and the comment period closes in just a FEW DAYS! Send your message to the Biden Administration and urge it to SHUT DOWN the
Dakota Access Pipeline by 11:59pm TONIGHT!

enormous swaths of the U.S. – from the nearby Indigenous people who are leading
the pipeline resistance, to unsuspecting communities hundreds of miles to the
south.

The pipeline raises major climate concerns as well. Continued operation would
lock us into decades of increased oil extraction, which is incompatible with
Biden’s climate goals. Your action to cancel the pipeline could help reduce
emissions to the tune of 40 million gas-powered cars per year!

Here’s the bottom line, Friend: the Dakota Access
Pipeline is a health and environmental disaster waiting to happen. It’s already
violated the sovereignty of Indigenous groups, and they are asking for people like YOU to join them in fighting back. Please, Friend, will you tell the Biden Administration
to meet Tribal demands and CANCEL the Dakota Access Pipeline once and for all?
Sign the petition now!
