Join a #NoDAPL solidarity event on Tuesday, September 13th near you.

Friends,

For all of us who fight for a better world, it's been truly inspiring to witness the political organizing carried out these past weeks on the Standing Rock Sioux reservation.

 

Their amazing work paid off in dramatic fashion yesterday afternoon. Minutes after a federal court refused to stop construction on the Dakota Access pipeline, the federal government announced that work would be stopping anyway: in effect, there was a people's injunction, won by the great courage and witness of tribes from across America.

 

This is good news. They've bought time, and now it's our job to come to their support -- to turn this temporary halt into a permanent stop to the pipeline. And more, to make sure that nothing like this ever gets a federal permit again. That's why there will be solidarity actions across America on Tuesday, and we need you at one of them.

The Obama administration announced months ago that new projects would now have to pass a climate test before being approved--we need that test applied to this pipeline. And we need to make sure than anything in Indian country never gets built again without full tribal consultation. 

Let's make sure the President continues to feel the heat, and stops this pipeline for good: Attend a #nodapl action near you next week -- and if one doesn't exist yet, sign up to host an event on Sept 13th.

These are some of the greatest organizers on the continent. We've fought side by side on the Keystone Pipeline and in a dozen other fights. And now we've got a chance to do something really special. After 500 years of being ignored by the federal government, native Americans forced something special today: serious recognition of their rights.

That should give all of us real hope for the future.
