Call to Action!
Help Us Shutdown DAPL
|
|
Join us in pushing the Biden Administration against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) during the Lame Duck period!
|
From November until inauguration day, we will hold President Biden and his Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) to STOP DAPL. Stand with us in solidarity to advocate for the protection of the Standing Rock (SRST) and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes (CRST).
Lawmakers continue to ignore the SRST and CRST’s Free, Prior, and Informed Consent, but the Tribes’ vital contribution in the decision-making process is essential. Let’s amplify the Tribes’ choice and push for the immediate closure and capping of the pipeline at the crossing, revoking any permits issued. President Biden has the power to make this happen! This is a critical moment for mass mobilization on fossil fuels that could move Biden. Are you in?

Dear President Biden,
On behalf of our millions of members and supporters, we urge your Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) to deny the Lake Oahe easement, permanently shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), and leave the piping in place in alignment with federal law.
The Dakota Access Pipeline violates the Clean Water Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, and Indigenous sovereignty.
From destroying sacred sites, putting drinking water at risk, increasing the problem of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) that comes with fossil fuel project construction, and exacerbating climate change, DAPL has already caused real harm and should be shut down. Impacted Tribes have still not been provided with complete and unredacted spill response plans, and in 2024, we learned that massive amounts of drilling fluid likely spilled during construction.
The incoming Trump Administration will do its best to expand fossil fuels and eliminate the world’s chances of limiting global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius. We urge you to cement your climate legacy by using these final months of your Administration to shut down this dangerous pipeline.
