Shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline!

The Dakota Access Pipeline violates Indigenous sovereignty and threatens the drinking water of millions of Americans every day it remains operational.

Now, we have a critical and fleeting chance to help SHUT DOWN the pipeline for good. A court ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to perform an environmental assessment and triggered a new comment period, but the window is closing in just a few days.

Amplify the Tribal demands to President Biden and stop the Dakota Access Pipeline from carrying millions of barrels of crude oil through sacred lands and waterways. We need your help before the comment period ends.

Army Corp of Engineers,

I am writing to urge you to decommission the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) for good.

DAPL was built without adequate environmental analysis or Tribal consultation. Indigenous groups, including the Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes have advocated against the pipeline for its violation of sacred lands and harm to the environment.

17 million people drink water from sources downstream of the pipeline. A leak would be an environmental and health catastrophe for huge numbers of people. We cannot continue to operate the pipeline with this level of risk to the drinking water of millions.

In addition, the pipeline is incompatible with President Biden’s climate reduction goals. It would lock us into decades of increased fossil fuel extraction and create emissions equivalent to 42.4 million gas-powered cars. In the midst of a climate crisis, we cannot afford this kind of fossil fuel infrastructure.

Please move immediately to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Thank you for considering my opinion,
