Recently we won a historic victory for tribal sovereignty. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the Oceti Sakowin elders and headsmen, the International Indigenous Youth Council, and other water protectors defeated the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The company behind the pipeline — Energy Transfer Partners — and President-elect Donald Trump have pledged to start the project up again if they can. Once again, we can stop them.
The pipeline can’t continue without the financial support of a number of big banks. We — as customers and account holders — can pressure the banks financing the project to take a stand.
Sign the petition to all 17 banks financing the Dakota Access Pipeline at http://petitions.signforgood.com/NoDAPLbanks?code=NativeOrganizing: Stop supporting DAPL.
The pipeline threatens the water for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and millions of people downstream on the Missouri river. It’s also a violation of Native sovereignty. Already irreplaceable sacred sites have been destroyed.
The peaceful resistance of water protectors captured the imagination of the world. The prayer camp at Standing Rock became the front line of the fight to protect Mother Earth. Attack dogs and water cannons could not defeat us.
Join us today in demanding that the big banks end their loans for the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Help ensure that our victory at Standing Rock holds. Let’s end the Dakota Access Pipeline for good.
