[Sdalliance] Fw: Today: Emergency #NoDAPL rallies

[Monty Kroopkin]

Update: the easement has now been illegally approved. I find no San Diego location for any emergency protest today (yet) on the actions webpage. Hopefully, somebody will be getting one going. -- Monty

Army Corps just announced it will approve the final easement for the pipeline
Friends,
I don’t know about you, but I am angry. Yesterday, Trump’s Executive Memorandum to approve and expedite the Dakota Access pipeline was realized. 
The Army Corps of Engineers just announced that they will approve the final easement for the pipeline, throwing out the environmental review process started under the Obama Administration -- even though hundreds of thousands of people have already submitted public comments. Quite literally, the Army Corps of Engineers and Trump are silencing us.
We will not be silenced. Thousands will take to the streets today to show our resistance, and we need you to be one of them.

Illegally forcing this project through is an obvious example of corruption as well as a gross violation of Indigenous rights, a direct threat to peoples' water, and a denial of climate science. Trump is putting people and water at risk in order to line the pockets of the fossil fuel industry. 
But the resistance to the pipeline is still going strong. Just yesterday, the city of Seattle divested $3 billion dollars from Wells Fargo because of its role in financing Dakota Access.1 And the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe already announced plans to take legal action against this decision. 
Now it’s our job to show that the massive movement fighting to protect Standing Rock hasn’t gone away. Be part of the national #NoDAPL stand.
What we’ve seen from the Trump Administration over the last two weeks makes our job clear: we have to rise up and resist against an agenda that threatens people and the planet. No community is a sacrifice zone. 
As hard as it is, we must keep fighting.
Mni Wiconi, Water is Life.
Kendall
