DAPL You're Not Welcome To North Dakota!



Published on Aug 25, 2016
Welcome to North Dakota - the 2nd largest oil exporter in North America. It is estimated there's over 300 oil leaks per year within this state alone, and more than 170 of those incidents come from pipeline leaks. Many leaks go unreported, unknown even, and when companies report leaks to the local government there isn't any public notice.

The state of North Dakota takes approximately 2.5 years just to clean up 20,000 gallons of oil meaning most messes are left uncleaned and more and more damage is being done both to the environment and to local communities. This effects everyone, we must take a stand and protect our land today. Water is life, water is our connection to everything!

The crisis in North Dakota effects all communities and this video exposes the oil obsession and disasters associated with the boom. From oil shipping trains exploding to pipelines bursting thousands of barrels of crude oil onto the fields of farmers. Residents and Native American tribes are coming together to demand an end to the greed and destruction.

Thousands rely on the Missouri river including the plants and wildlife; it's a beautiful river and we have absolutely no reason to recklessly throw it away to an oil company. When will America wake up and say enough is enough?

They and their companies need to be legally enforced to respect the greater public interest of the states involved even if it means protracted battles they can easily outspend the plaintiffs over.

The larger interests of the states and country are at stake.
