This is huge, John. Moments ago,
news broke: the U.S. Supreme Court refused to continue construction on the
Keystone XL pipeline, rejecting Trump’s bid to jump-start it.
Earlier, a federal judge sided with the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River
Sioux Tribes and ordered that the Dakota Access pipeline be shut down
while a more extensive environmental review is done.
Over the weekend, two utility companies also announced the cancellation of
the Atlantic Coast pipeline due to costs and delays. This win is a result
of local communities across West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina
who organized and fought hard.
This is a critical moment to keep the momentum up to stop pipelines across
the board. There’s no telling what dirty tricks the Trump administration
will try next.

Despite massive global opposition, Energy Transfer Partners completed the
Dakota Access pipeline in 2017. This year, the company behind Keystone XL,
TC Energy (formerly known as TransCanada), began construction on the
pipeline despite not having all the required state, local, and federal
permits. The permits issued by the Trump administration are currently
facing three federal lawsuits.
We helped stop Keystone XL before. We can stop a major pipeline again.
Both Dakota Access and Keystone XL were stopped or put on hold by the
Obama administration thanks to grassroots pressure, but Trump fast-tracked
the projects within his first five days in office.^1
We cannot back down. The Promise to Protect is led by a coalition of
Indigenous leaders, rural communities, and national climate and
environmental organizations, and has gained support from more than 48,000
people who’ve committed to travel to the Keystone XL route and participate
in creative resistance to stop the pipeline if called upon.
[ [link removed] ]Hundreds of people have already been trained, but we need more who are
committed to stopping Keystone XL no matter what. Will you add your name
to the Promise to Protect today?
Big Oil’s business model has always been at odds with the fight for racial
and economic justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and a safe climate. The
Indigenous-led efforts to stop Keystone XL and Dakota Access have ushered
in a powerful era of resistance, but we must keep going.
When we fight, we win.
