No Dakota Access Pipeline - Solidarity from San Francisco

#NoDAPL

 

September 8, 2016

Large crowd in downtown San Francisco shows solidarity with the 100s of Native tribes that have gathered in North Dakota, alongside the Standing Rock Sioux, to PROTECT the land and water and sacred sites. At issue is the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline that would transport 470,000 barrels of Bakken crude oil a day to Illinois, where it would continue on to refineries in the Midwest, the Gulf Coast and the East coast. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has sued the federal government to stop construction. As they wait, the massive gathering in North Dakota continues to engage in non-violent direct action, often putting their bodies in harms way to stop the equipment that threatens their water, land, sacred sites and the health of the planet and future generations.
