Dear John,
The Dakota Access Pipeline is dangerous. It threatens the Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe with oil spills, leaks, and polluted drinking water. Take action now: Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The Army Corps of Engineers has tried to ignore the rights of the Standing Rock
Sioux in order to advance this destructive pipeline. Now, it’s being forced to
re-evaluate the environmental harm this project will cause.
We need your help, John, to push the Army Corps of
Engineers to listen to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s concerns about the Dakota
Access Pipeline!
Urge the Army Corps of Engineers to respect the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and
stop the Dakota Access Pipeline!

community and towards Tribal Nations instead. The current route puts the drinking water for 17 million people at risk. And it
violates the Fort Laramie Treaty -- a guarantee that the Standing Rock Sioux’s
lands will be undisturbed for use and occupation.
In July, the owners of the Dakota Access Pipeline were court-ordered to halt all
operations. The court found that the Army Corps of Engineers failed to account
for the consequences that the pipeline posed for the Tribe. The Army Corps was
ordered to redo its environmental assessment.
Now, we need activists like you, John, to push the Army
Corps to stop ignoring the risks the pipeline poses to the Tribe’s ancestral
lands and to engage closely with the Tribe to get their feedback.
Demand the Army Corps of Engineers engage with the Standing Rock Sioux to
address all safety hazards the Dakota Access Pipeline presents.

impacts of the Dakota Access Pipeline in a meaningful and comprehensive way.
Fossil fuel pipelines have caused 9,000 significant spills, 500 deaths, and over
2,500 injuries over the last 30 years. These spills should be a warning, but instead Big Oil continues to get the
green light from agencies like the Army Corps of Engineers to build these
pipelines -- even through Tribal lands!
Evidence shows fossil fuel pipelines pollute communities, poison drinking water,
and threaten wildlife. The Army Corps of Engineers need to fully address the
impacts of the Dakota Access Pipeline, but it won’t act unless they hear from
concerned people like you.
Take Action: Demand the Army Corps of Engineers protect people and the planet.
