Let's Stand Again With Standing Rock

It's time to take action and stop the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL)! It's been over six years since DAPL began carrying oil and nearly a year and a half since the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the pipeline operator Energy Transfer's attempt to avoid producing a required Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Today, in violation of a separate court order, DAPL continues to operate illegally, without a federal easement. Finally, after interminable delay, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has finally released an extremely problematic draft EIS for public input.

That's where you come in. You now have just a few weeks to submit your public comment demanding the Corps shut this pipeline down and require a new, valid EIS. Please stand with Standing Rock in this critical moment and write to the Army Corps right now.

Now that the EIS has been released, we can confirm what we already suspected. Prepared by a member of the American Petroleum Institute -- clear conflict of interest -- the EIS addresses none of Standing Rock's many grave concerns about DAPL. Those include DAPL's imminent threat to the Missouri River, big problems with Energy Transfer's emergency response plans, Energy Transfer's horrendous safety track record, continued lack of transparency with Standing Rock throughout the environmental review process, inaccurate characterizations of tribal consultation, and sensitive habitat and sacred burial sites along the riverbank.

Earlier this year, four U.S. senators including Bernie Sanders submitted a letter to the Corps seeking an explanation. The reply from Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Michael Connor did not adequately or honestly address the tribe's complaints. Standing Rock replied, pointing out the flaws in approach and demanding redress.

For now, it's up to us to lend a hand. We must flood the Army Corps with a single, unified message: This illegal pipeline's operations must be terminated and the Army Corps must start over with a legitimate environmental review. In the midst of a climate emergency, let's defend sacred ground and safeguard Unci Maka (our Grandmother Earth). This may be our last, best chance to end DAPL once and for all. Please take action now.

The Dakota Access Pipeline (or DAPL) is a federally commissioned pipeline carrying ~19 million gallons of petroleum oil per day.

DAPL receives the crude oil through the Bakken Oil Field, a major site for hydraulic fracturing—fracking.

The pipeline runs along the Missouri River's watershed, which provides drinking water for millions of people, including members of the Standing Rock Reservation.

Against the fierce protests of Indigenous people, former president Donald Trump signed an executive order that endorsed its construction in 2017. That year, DAPL leaked at least five times.

A review of the pipeline's effects has never been conducted. Sioux activists (of Standing Rock and other Indigenous reservations) have been repeatedly brushed off—or worse. Multiple videos illustrate the police's use of force—rubber bullets, water cannons, and concussion grenades.

The federal government of the United States of America has yet again decided to rear its ugly head and make clear its apathy to the sovereignty and rights of Indigenous people.

Stand with Indigenous people, environmentalists, social advocates of all kinds.

Please.
