This was one of the solidarity rallies happening around the world this day to show support for the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The planned pipeline will transport 470,000 barrels of oil per day 1,172 miles from North Dakota to Illinois. Protesters called for a stop of the pipeline construction which will pass upstream from the Standing Rock Sioux Nation. Along with the threat to their water supply, the tribe claims the pipeline will destroy burial sites and sacred places.

Washington DC, November 15 2016. A diverse crowd of around three thousand fired up activists variously affiliated with over a hundred different groups gathered in front of offices occupied by the Army Corps Of Engineers (and other agencies including the GAO...) for a rally and march to protect the midwestern plains water and land that rightfully belongs in perpetuity to Native American people. A core group of speakers travelled here from the Dakotas to lead the action. There is some slim hope that President Obama can be persuaded in the waning days of his presidency to refuse 'right of way' on Federal lands for the Dakota Access Pipeline. There was a sad, poignant vibe to the event because the DAPL poisonous snake will almost certainly be 'fast tracked' by the incoming Trump administration. President Elect Donald J. Trump is an investor in the pipeline. The company largely responsible for the pipeline project is headed by a very rich Texan folk music enthusiast/opportunist/OK guitar player who seems to have little understanding of what most folk musicians are trying to express.
Led by Chicagoland indigenous organizations, people assembled at Federal Plaza to hear speeches and create a community snake dance against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). They were joined by a marchers from an anti-Trump protest. The DAPL is often called the "Black Snake”.
The pipeline will run across approximately 1,172 miles of land from North Dakota to Illinois. The DAPL will transfer crude oil, through the Oglala Aquifer, as well as, under the Big Sioux, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. The pipeline will run through the traditional lands of the Standing Rock Sioux endangering water and sacred sites.
Energy Transfer Partners has 100% completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline in Illinois, and South Dakota. Resistance in North Dakota and Iowa are our last lines of defense against DAPL.

On Monday, October 23rd, more than 30 Vashon Islanders, including 17 youth, protested at Chase Bank, joining the global call to action #DivestTheGlobe. In 50 communities across the U.S. and on Vashon, concerned community members demanded financial institutions stop financing fossil fuel pipelines, due to their repression of indigenous rights, human rights abuses, the fueling of climate change, and the desecration of the earth.
Vashon’s colorful protest included youth marching in song with a 10 foot inflatable globe, a banner that read “Vashon Green School Supports Standing Rock - All Life Is Equal” and a 30 foot long banner that read “Stop Desecration of the Earth, Stop Funding Climate Destruction, Honor Indigenous Rights.” Youth sang inside Chase Bank. A letter (linked below), signed by some of the largest environmental organizations, was read, calling on Chase Bank CEO, Jamie Dimon, to divest the Bank’s holdings from investments in fossil fuels. Then account holder Mike McGrath cut his bank card in half, breaking the chains wrapped around him. Mike McGrath closed his account and severed his ties with Chase Bank until the bank ends all current and future investments in fossil fuel infrastructure.
October 23rd through the 25th, 92 of the world's largest banks meet in São Paolo, Brazil to discuss policies on the climate and Indigenous People's rights to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC). The Indigenous-led coalition of Mazaska (Money) Talks and Standing Rock leaders called on allies everywhere to join them for three days of mass global action.
Vashonites with a conscience joined this global call for action to show the banks that financing climate disaster and the abuse of Indigenous Peoples is not an acceptable business practice.
The solidarity actions across the world target the banks that fund the desecration of Mother Earth. These banks include Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) financiers such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase. They fund the destructive Canadian tar sands oil extraction that is seriously affecting First Nations' health, lands, and water, as well as worsening the climate crisis.
The action was organized by members of the Backbone Campaign. Participating youth were from the Vashon Green School as well as part of a homeschool network. This action is being called the largest bank protest ever. Organizers of 350Seattle aimed to mobilize actions at 100 bank branches. Protests continue in Europe, Australia and New Zealand on October 24th and in Africa and Asia on October 25th.

Washington DC, November 15 2016. A diverse crowd of around three thousand fired up activists variously affiliated with over a hundred different groups gathered in front of offices occupied by the Army Corps Of Engineers (and other agencies including the GAO...) for a rally and march to protect the midwestern plains water and land that rightfully belongs in perpetuity to Native American people. A core group of speakers travelled here from the Dakotas to lead the action. There is some slim hope that President Obama can be persuaded in the waning days of his presidency to refuse 'right of way' on Federal lands for the Dakota Access Pipeline. There was a sad, poignant vibe to the event because the DAPL poisonous snake will almost certainly be 'fast tracked' by the incoming Trump administration. President Elect Donald J. Trump is an investor in the pipeline. The company largely responsible for the pipeline project is headed by a very rich Texan folk music enthusiast/opportunist/OK guitar player who seems to have little understanding of what most folk musicians are trying to express.

No DAPL, Berlin November 2016
Protest-Kundgebung gegen die DAPL (Dakota Access Pipeline) vor der US-Botschaft in der Clayallee 170 am 16. November 2016 mit rund 40 Teilnehmer*innen.
Die Veranstaltung war Teil des International Day of Action (Nov 15 #NoDAPL Day of Action at Army Corps of Engineers), zu dem das Indigenous Environmental Network aufgerufen hatte. Sie fand in berlin am 16. November statt, da an diesem Tag US-Präsident Obama Berlin besucht.
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…
Seit Ende August 2016 kamen immer mehr Menschen in das Gebiet von Cannon Ball südlich von Bismarck, um den Kampf der Standing Rock Sioux Nation gegen die Pipeline zu unterstützen. Im September 2016 lebten rund 3000 Menschen im "Red Warrior Camp" am Zusammenfluss des Missouri und des Cannonball Rivers.

Washington DC, The White House, the evening of January 24, 2017. Around a thousand climate justice activists and supporters gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue to protest two memorandums signed by President Trump this morning essentially reauthorizing the previously rejected KXL and DAPL pipeline projects. The KXL memorandum invited TransCanada to re-apply with the promise of a speedy approval with no input from environmental agencies. The DAPL memorandum advises the Army Corp Of Engineers that the project is in our "national interest" and that the environmental review placed on it by Obama should be revoked. After a rally with speeches around a hundred or so folks marched noisily to Trump's Heartbreak Hotel for a secondary rally and 'die in'.
