American Indians have fired up the Iowans to stop the DACL - non violent training this Sat

[womanofthehills]

Sat, Sept 10 - the Iowans are gathering for non-violent training

Here's the schedule for Saturday morning at the Mickle Center:
8:00 - 9:00 a.m. - Breakfast (our treat!)
9:00 - 11:30 a.m. - Nonviolence training
11:30 - 12:00 noon - Lunch (also on us)
12:00 - Leave for direct action

We're fired up! Our first mass direct action against the Dakota Access/Bakken Pipeline on Wednesday, August 31 blocked the movement of pipeline construction equipment in Boone County for nearly two hours. Over 100 people participated and 30 were arrested. Our efforts made national news!

Dakota Access is feeling the heat, and we MUST keep the pressure on!


Dakota Access is feeling the heat, and we MUST keep the pressure on!

More and more Iowans are upset at how Dakota Access is treating farmers, landowners and our Native allies. More and more know that this pipeline will exacerbate the climate crisis and poison our water.

They are ready to put their bodies on the line to stop pipeline construction and send a message to President Obama that he needs to tell the Army Corps of Engineers to do its job.

Please come! We need you. Our water and land need you. The planet needs you.

1. The crude oil will probably go abroad - an environmental mess just for profit

"We are certain that this oil will be sent to the Gulf of Mexico and sold to the highest bidder," says Jonas Magram, an Iowa resident who lives in a county along the path of the Dakota Access pipeline, who has protested the construction. Magram says the claim that the Dakota Access is designed to boost energy independence is "absolutely baseless," especially since the unrefined oil can now be exported.

Though Promised for Domestic Use, Dakota Access Pipeline May Fuel Oil Exports

The Dakota Access Pipeline route brings oil from the Bakken fields to a hub in Illinois, from which it will connect to existing pipelines that lead to the Nederland, Texas, terminal on the Gulf Coast, a facility owned by Sunoco Logistics, a partner to the Dakota Access project, capable of crude oil exports.

Energy Transfer Partners’ 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, notes that low crude oil price are a challenge for the company due to “general oversupply,” but that “export projects” under construction, including at Nederland, will “balance this market by 2018.” The filing also lists the Bakken pipeline in a section about positioning the company as a “leader in the export of hydrocarbons.”
