FW: [daplbanks] Important; moving on with DAPL letter to banks

[Julie Maldonado]

Hello all,

This is an important message and campaign that our friends and colleagues with First Peoples are organizing. Do people agree to have the SfAA Disasters/Risk TIG sign-on? And please send to NGOs, scholarly associations, faith communities, etc. you think would sign on.

With gratitude,

Julie

Dear Friends,

 

As you know First Peoples was asked by the Tribe to assist with an investment strategy to stop DAPL. We reached out to major campaigners as one part of the strategy and they responded overwhelmingly with help. As a group we have many different objectives and agendas but we were together on the goal of stopping ETP financing.  The next step is to tap into the largest most unprecedented size group for organizing the campaign. As of now (and expecting more) the following orgs will be on board

• SumofUs
• Daily Kos
• Environmental Action
• RAN
• Food & Water Watch
• 350.org
• Greenpeace
• Purpose 
• DivestInvest Individual

We would love to have women’s NGOs, academic, political, media, new economy, all groups the more the better. So far the collective outreach of just these groups is in the multi-million people on their list serves –per group in some cases.  Do to the size of the effort I asked for and they overnight created a website where all of the collaborators can enter their impact. If you want to look at the details regarding campaign letter and collective website format the attached DAPL Petition Signatures will give that background. If you want to see more about the groups joining I can send you a spreadsheet but it is literally so large we had to do a spreadsheet. The ones I listed are the leaders. You will also see a number of organic campaigns that are operating separately but we are working to coordinate with them too without wanting a central command but keeping it open to foster the organic efforts too. >

So the hunt for signatories under this letter is now on! Please help get as many organisations under this letter as possible. Spread the link to befriended organisation but do not post it on public websites. We accept sign on until coming Wednesday Nov 30.

 

While we seek comments on the wording we have a formal endorsement from SRST. One of our colleagues BankTrack has already gone ahead and posted the letter for endorsements, Go here:  Go here to sign on:

On Wednesday nov 30 we also will want to go full out on social media. We'll get back to you with memes, tweet suggestions etc. Groups wanting to take this on and develop material please step forward. For any questions or assistance please contact:

Hi Julie,

Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm happy to have the TIG sign. Is this allowed per SfAA rules?

30 seconds after sending that out, found out from Jeanne Simonelli, who convenes the extrACTION TIG, that we've signed on to things before through that TIG (such as Constitution Pipeline), so seems like okay to do, but different TIGs might have their own rules?

I'd be worried if for some reason we did not sign on. Of course we should, and we should also commit to incorporating critical conversations about the matter as well as about Flint, in all our courses in spring.

peace,

Raja

I'm good with this if it's ok with SfAA and I don't see why they wouldn't agree. my other question is, do,we need a quick vote from  all TIG members as it represents them too?

Yes, absolutely (per SfAA approval). I can check with the SEA (society for economic anthropology). Has anyone checked with SANA, SUNTA, or Cultural Survival?  

Thanks, Julie. This is so important.

Apologies for my ignorance of disaster TIG leadership, but is there an official convener of the TIG? I've already added my name to represent other groups, so would be preferable for the convener to go to the link and sign the TIG on, if this is agreed by all. Has to be done by tomorrow.

Thanks,

Julie

Yes, it strikes me that we have no decision-making structure for things like this - maybe that's preferable, I don't know. Could we  say, anyone who objects should raise objections in the next 12 hours and if no one objects we go forward?

I support the TIG signature. I would nominate Mark, Susanna, or AJ to sign?

Just a thought,

I do not know if we have any sort of structure in place for this sort of thing, but Sarah Taylor, Roberto Barrios, and Qiaoyun Zhang co-chair the TIG. They may be able to clarify what we need to do and who would need to sign. 

And I would also support such a signature.

In terms of presentations, it's Sarah Taylor  Roberto, and Qiaoyun this year with Roberto taking lead next. AJ still mostly handles business and fall or bottom line is me. you send out a call, all the responses you got were positive, so I say go ahead. Tom May has left SfAA, so you might quickly ask the president. I don't have her number with me in NYC but you could look it up on the Website.

Thanks, Susanna!

If don't hear from conveners or any dissenting opinions by first thing tomorrow morning, I'll go ahead and sign for TIG.

extrACTION TIG already signed on, so there is a precedent for doing so if that helps.

Lord knows,we have to follow precedent. 

[Julie Maldonado]

I opened my email this morning and was going to sign us on to the letter, but unfortunately I'm Pacific time, and the letter went out early morning East Coast time. Sorry about that! The good news though is that 400+ organizations signed on. There will be more such things coming up I'm sure, so it's good to think on a precedent to follow for understanding if the TIG will sign on. Seems like sending out to group for agreement, and if no differing opinions then okay to proceed?

Thanks all,

Julie
