The public witnessed a new level of escalation on October 27, 2016 in the Native struggle at Standing Rock, as police swept through an encampment in the direct path of the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL). The resulting standoff with the National Guard, and police officers from various states, led to more than 100 arrests. Advancing authorities attacked Water Protectors with flash grenades, bean bag launchers, pepper spray and Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs). It is crucial that people recognize that Standing Rock is part of an ongoing struggle against colonial violence. The Dakota Access pipeline (#NoDAPL) is a front of struggle in a long-erased war against Native peoples -- a war that has been active since first contact, and waged without interruption.

Water is LIFE
Statement from Reclaim the Power - As Reclaim the Power, our message is clear– we will not allow the development of a new climate and community wrecking industry. We will stand with the people of Lancashire and everyone fighting fracking across the country and beyond, we will put our bodies on the line to prevent this from happening. The democratic process has failed us, and now is the time for direct action.

National Nurses United (NNU)'s Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN)--a volunteer network of nurses providing disaster relief--deployed in early December, for the third time, to Standing Rock. The RNs were on hand to assist with first aid for water protectors resisting the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL)--as well as for the thousands of arriving Veterans for Standing Rock. Nurse volunteers witnessed the big announcement on Dec. 4 that the Army Corps of Engineers had, for the time being, denied the easement for the final stretch of the pipeline construction.
When a blizzard arose the next day, many water protectors, veterans and locals sought shelter at the Prairie Knights Casino--where a pow wow was being held. During the pow wow, veterans danced and stood in ceremony with tribal members.
RNRN volunteers were on hand at the casino to provide care for those who were struggling with the cold, or who were simply not feeling well. RNRN registered nurse volunteers Amy Bowen and Rachel Gitas also worked the night shift at the Sacred Stone camp during the blizzard, helping water protectors seeking care in the medical tent. Rachel even went tent to tent with a water protector to make sure no one had been buried in the snow.
The nurses know the fight to resist DAPL is not over. They vow to stand in solidarity with Standing Rock for as long as it takes to stop this dirty oil pipeline--and its threats to both the Standing Rock Sioux's sacred land, and the water supply and health of up to 17 million people.

NoDAPL, Berlin Februar 2017.
Demonstration gegen die Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) und gegen Kredite der BayernLB und der Deutschen Bank für die DAPL in Berlin-Mitte am 17.2.2017.
Rund 70 Menschen beteiligen sich an der Auftaktkundgebung am Tränenpalast und gehen die Friedrichstraße südwärts bis zur Filiale der Deutschen Bank in der Friedrichstraße 191. Nach der Zwischenkundgebung an der Deutschen Bank geht die Demonstration weiter bis in die Kronenstraße zum Hauptsitz der Deutschen Kreditbank Aktiengesellschaft (DBK), eine hundertprozentige Tochter der Bayrischen Landesbank (BayernLB), wo es eine Abschlusskundgebung gibt.
Die Demonstration fordert die sofortige Rücknahme der Kredite von 120 Millionen US$ der BayernLB und 275 Millionen US$ der Deutschen Bank als finanzielle Unterstützung der gefährlichen Dakota Access Pipeline. Abgesehen von der Missachtung der Vertragsrechte der Lakota Sioux Nation, bedroht die DAPL das Trinkwasser von 18 Millionen Menschen flussabwärts. Die BayernLB überdenkt momentan ihre Investition und Mitte Februar sollte diese eine erneute Entscheidung treffen.
Aus dem Demonstrations-Aufruf:
„Wir sagen nein zur DAPL und nein zu Trumps Kriegsagenda und Umweltzerstörung! Wir protestieren gemeinsam, um:
1) Die BayernLB und die Deutschen Bank dazu zu bewegen, keine Kredite an die von der Dakota Access Pipeline auszugeben!
2) Der Welt zu sagen, dass der Anti-LSBTQI Vizepräsident Pence und der Klimakiller Außenminister Rex Tilleron hier in Deutschland nicht willkommen sind!“ (Zur Zeit sind Pence und Tilleron von der US-Regierung zu zwei Konferenzen in Europa)
Die Demonstration in Berlin Teil der weltweiten Aktionswoche ‘Global Week of Action’ gegen die Dakota Access Pipeline und eines gemeinsamen Aktionstages, gleichzeitig demonstrieren heute Menschen in 70 weiteren Städten weltweit gegen DAPL und für die Rücknahme der Bankkredite für die DAPL.
Hintergrund-Infos:
Die Dakota Access Pipeline (kurz: DAPL), auch Bakken Pipeline genannt, ist eine im Bau befindliche Erdölpipeline zwischen der erdölreichen Bakken-Formation in North Dakota und dem Pipelineknotenpunkt Patoka in Illinois. Die Pipeline soll eine Länge von 1.880 km haben und durch die US-Bundesstaaten North Dakota, South Dakota und Iowa bis nach Illinois führen. Ihr Bau wird von US-weiten Protesten begleitet und wurde mehrmals gerichtlich gestoppt.
Initiator des rund 3,8 Milliarden US-Dollar teuren Projekt ist der Pipelinebetreiber Energy Transfer Partners.
Dabei werden 200 Wasserläufe überquert ( "water-crossings" ). Vor allem im Gebiet des sich aus einem weit verzweigten Netz von Zuflüssen speisenden Missouri River verläuft die Pipeline durch eine große Flusslandschaft.
Der Protest gegen die Dakota Access Pipeline ist eine der größten Umweltbewegungen der 2000er Jahre in den USA. Der Protest führte zur größten Zusammenkunft von Indianer Nordamerikas seit 1920.
Die Sioux von Standing Rock wehren sich gegen den Bau der Pipeline über Grabstätten und heiligem Land ihrer Vorfahren. Viele ihrer Grabstätten und heilige Orte wurden bereits zerstört, weitere Zerstörungen wurden angekündigt…
