Details
On Tuesday, September 13th, people around the country are taking part in a day of action in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe against the Dakota Access Pipeline. We're calling on President Obama to instruct the Army Corps of Engineers to revoke the permits for this dirty oil pipeline.

For months, indigenous activists have set up prayer camps along the pipeline route in a historic feat of nonviolent resistance. Tribal Nations are taking The Army Corps of Engineers to court over the unjust pipeline approval process, but President Obama could step in any time and say "no" to this whole thing, like he did for Keystone XL.

The Dakota Access Pipeline must be stopped. This pipeline would carry toxic fracked oil from North Dakota across four states, and under the Missouri River immediately upstream from the Standing Rock Sioux Nation. It is a threat to the sacred land and water of native communities and a disaster for the climate.

Join us on Tuesday from at 5 PM to call on President Obama to stop Dakota Access! We will gather on Pennsylvania Avenue, between Lafayette Square and the White House.

Speakers will include: Senator Bernie Sanders, Tara Houska with Honor the Earth, Chase Iron Eyes with Sacred Stone Camp, and other native leaders from North Dakota.

This action is being planned by: 350.org.org, Sierra Club, Honor the Earth, Indigenous Environmental Network, CREDO Mobile, Bold Alliance and many more.
