John,

This past Friday, the Army Corp of Engineers said it will allow the pipeline to continue operating despite the fact it is dong so in violation of a court order requiring the Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a long-overdue environmental review on the pipeline.

The Dakota Access Pipeline is threatening the drinking water and sacred land of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other Indigenous peoples. President Biden needs to use his authority to shut down the pipeline immediately.

Send a message to President Biden: It’s time to shut down DAPL.

This environmental review should have been done years before the pipeline was allowed to move forward, but Big Oil and its enablers rigged the process. Indigenous and frontline organizers have been fighting this pipeline since 2014, and Food & Water Watch and coalition partner organizations have been working to support them.

President Obama rejected the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), but Trump approved it. We now have a clear chance to shut down the pipeline for good.

Tell President Biden to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The Dakota Access Pipeline has destroyed farms and communities along the 1,000-mile-plus route — through the Dakotas and into Iowa and Illinois. Indigenous communities and allies across the country are standing up and speaking out to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline and address the egregious violations of eminent domain used to build it.

The 2016 protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline brought together over 15,000 people on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota. They staged a peaceful, months-long protest in an effort to prevent the pipeline from being built. The pipeline company’s paid security unleashed heavy-handed tactics on the peaceful demonstrators, including aerial surveillance and attacks with pepper spray and dogs.

It was the ultimate demonstration that Big Oil corporations will do anything to protect their bottom line. Big Oil & Gas doesn’t care about the environment or who it harms — it’s happy to leave communities to struggle with the spills, explosions, pollution and the climate impacts left behind by its work.

Shut Down DAPL

Pipelines like DAPL are not the answer to our energy needs. Fossil fuel extraction, production and infrastructure directly threaten our air, water and clean energy future. In order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

And that means shutting down the Dakota Access Pipeline.

At Food & Water Watch, we believe that everyone deserves clean drinking water, clean air and a liveable climate. That's why we’re working across the country to take on the fossil fuel industry. Add your voice to the fight!

Tell President Biden to take action for our planet and communities: Shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline now.
