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.

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.
Greenpeace activists in solidarity with Indigenous protectors in North Dakota, target a Citibank branch with a protest in Washington, D.C. February 6, 2017. Citibank is one of the largest institutions and creditors of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline has led to the brutalization of peaceful water protectors at Standing Rock, North Dakota. If successfully completed, the pipeline would destroy sacred Indigenous lands, potentially poison the water supply of thousands of people and fast track climate change.

People stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and the Water Protectors on Dec. 1, 2016 in San Francisco. There is a call for December to be a month of action where across the world people stand in unity with the tribe against the Dakota Access pipeline. The Dakota Access Pipeline would carry approximately 570,000 barrels of crude per day from North Dakota to Illinois. A portion of it passes through the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's ancestral lands, and within a half mile of the Tribe's present-day reservation. An oil spill will be culturally and economically catastrophic. Pictured in the center of the photo is Jillian Larson.

*For Immediate Release *
*San Francisco residents continue to join a global coalition in protest of
Wells Fargo, as the second-largest financier of Energy Transfer Partners,
backer of the Dakota Access Pipeline*
*Thursday, February 23 -- San Francisco, CA *-- San Francisco residents
continue to divest their personal investments from Wells Fargo. *Today, at
Wells Fargo headquarters at 420 Montgomery St. a half dozen protestors
entered holding signs and collectively withdrew over $25k in personal
savings.*
“We continue to call on our fellow Californians to divest from Wells Fargo,
given a mounting track record of morally bankrupt and financially risky
business practices. DAPL is an unnecessary pipeline project, and the latest
example of Wells Fargo operating in violation of their own commitment to
human rights,” said Kelly Trombley, a lifetime Wells Fargo customer that
can no longer tolerate doing business with Wells Fargo.
*Wells Faro is seeing more cities divest, including Seattle, Davis, Santa
Monica and Alameda, which passed a unanimous vote to divest this week.
*Thousands
more individuals have already closed their accounts and have defunded over
$69 million and counting.
On January 24th, President Trump signed a presidential memorandum fast
tracking the Dakota Access Pipeline and environmental reviews of other
projects. The corporations behind DAPL made it clear that they “fully
expect to complete construction of the pipeline without any additional
rerouting in and around Lake Oahe.”
However, the completion of DAPL is critically dependent on those 17 banks
that are jointly providing the project loan for the construction of the
pipeline. $3.75 of the $3.8 billion it costs to build the pipeline is on
credit. All of them are facing massive protest against their involvement.
Several banks in the consortium have now also openly criticized the project
sponsors for not being sufficiently responsive to the concerns of the
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
Johan Frijns, Director of BankTrack, said: “The Dakota Access Pipeline is
becoming a litmus test for all banks involved on how they let
environmental, social and human impacts weigh in when considering finance
for a particular project. In this case, the ongoing violation of the rights
of the Sioux Tribe leave them no other option but to withdraw from the
project.
“The protesters at Wells Fargo today join Standing Rock in solidarity and
call on all Wells Fargo customers to continue to pressure Wells Fargo to
terminate their involvement in the DAPL project. We need financial
institutions that are willing to honor their commitments to customers, make
sound investments, and do the right thing-divest from the Dakota Access
Pipeline,” said Trombley
