John -

We’re running out of time for President Biden to shut down the Dakota
Access Pipeline (DAPL) before Trump takes office.

If he doesn’t act now, we won’t get another chance for four more years —
that’s four more years of DAPL operating illegally, endangering our
climate, and violating the rights of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

[ [link removed] ]Will you send a letter to Biden demanding that he permanently shut down
DAPL before Trump takes office? Time is running out and your support today
will help pressure Biden to take action.

DAPL is an affront to frontline Indigenous communities and our climate.
President Biden must shut it down before leaving office in January.

In October, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed a lawsuit against the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers for the unlawful operation of the pipeline, citing
the lack of environmental review or an emergency spill response plan.^1
Despite this, the pipeline continues to threaten the health and safety of
the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and our climate.

Recent legal developments make this moment even more urgent,
John. A North Dakota judge has just approved the state’s
request to intervene in the ongoing lawsuit over the pipeline.^2 This
means DAPL can continue to operate illegally while the legal battle
unfolds.

Shutting down the pipeline is not just about preventing environmental
destruction; it’s about standing in solidarity with Indigenous communities
who have been fighting for years to protect their land. This recent ruling
and the legal loopholes being used only heighten the need for immediate
action to protect our climate and at-risk communities.

In 2020, President Biden showed strong leadership by canceling the
Keystone XL (KXL) pipeline. Now, we’re urging him to finally follow
through on his campaign promise and shut down DAPL for good before he
leaves office.

urge President Biden to shut down DAPL before he leaves office in January.
