After the final DAPL permit was granted, the Indigenous Coalition at Standing Rock is calling for February 8th to be an international day of emergency actions to disrupt business as usual and unleash a global intersectional resistance to fossil fuels and fascism. In New York the #NoDAPL ! Emergency Protest Against Easement action was held at Thomas Paine Park (Foley Square)
I participated in this mural action by painting, taking photos and video, time-lapse, and drone footage, editing it all into this video On Friday April 9 Wells Fargo's hundreds took over the streets in from of Wells Fargo World Headquarters. They painted a giant 250 foot mural street mural, which Read: WELLS FARGO: DEFUNCD INE & FOSSIL FUELS. FIRE: PROTECT FUTURE GENERATIONS. Then they marched to BlackRock headquarters and covered the office with red clay paint hand prints. Here is some more background info: PROTECT NEXT GENERATIONS SIGN PROJECT: Rows of (distanced) people vigiling will line the street, holding signs with the faces of the next generation in their lives (kids, grand kids, nieces/nephews, siblings, relatives, friends, yourself...). Bring a photo of a young person/s in your life (8 12/x11 landscape/horizontal format) and we will have screen printed DEFUND LINE 3 & FOSSIL FUELS/PROTECT FUTURE GENERATIONS posters (and tape/glue to attach it).
MARCH TO BLACKROCK: BlackRock owns a big part of Wells--and must vote fire Wells Board Chair if they are to walk their climate talk.
WHY:
WELLS FARGO: Wells Fargo has been the world’s third largest financier of fossil fuels over the last five years, with $223 billion in lending and underwriting over 2016-20. It is the world’s leading funder of fracked oil and gas.We Call on all Wells shareholders to Fire Board Chairman Charles Noski; Help us urge city, county, state state pensions and retirement funds, endowments of universities and cultural institutions, foundations, etc to protect future generations by voting Noski out.
#DEFUNDLINE3: Because Stopping This Pipeline is a Matter of Justice
“The fight to stop the Line 3 tar sands pipeline is about justice for the land. It’s about justice for the water. Justice for Anishinaabe people whose culture and way of life it threatens. Justice for people all over the world who are being impacted by the climate crisis.
Back in 2016, I helped to launch #DefundDAPL. As Indigenous Water Protectors were being brutalized by racist, militarized police―shot with rubber bullets, bitten by attack dogs and blasted with water cannons in the middle of winter―#DefundDAPL spread nationally. Protests erupted in cities around the country, close to a dozen city governments committed to breaking ties with the funders of DAPL and nearly $100 million in personal accounts were moved away from the funders of that colonial pipeline.
Now is the time for us to defund the White Supremacist, carbon bomb that is Line 3. As an Anishinaabe woman it is my duty to protect the water, the land, and my people. I am moved to act because I love the people, the four-legged, the winged, the finned, the land, the water.
It is from this sense of duty that I am asking you to join us in this campaign. Together, I know that we can do this. Throughout history people-powered movements have changed the world. And they sure as hell can stop Line 3."
A Call to action and solidarity from Tara Houska (Couchiching First Nation Anishinaabe) currently engaged in the movement to defund fossil fuels and a years-long struggle against Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline. Read the whole call here:

PROTECT FUTURE GENERATIONS: FIRE NOSKI!
Majority Action released their call to Fire Wells Fargo Board Chairman Charles Noski, along with other key corporate leader opposing defunding Fossil Fuels. Stop the Money Pipeline will be working in conjunction with our San Francisco action to build national pressure to fire Noski and Defund Line 3/Fossil Fuels. From their release today:
Last year we demanded that climate-denial architect Lee Raymond be removed from the JPMorgan Chase board of directors. Lots of major shareholders, including 11 state treasurers, heard us and, after a strong no vote, Lee Raymond left the board.
This year we need to build on that success. Not every director is a climate super-villain, but too many are doing too little to transform their companies into sustainable practices. They need to be held accountable - which means fired. We are calling this "Proxy [shareholder]
This is a complication of photos, video, time-lapse, and drone footage I shot covering the 05/07/2021 march and mural Action in San Francisco. Some of my drone footage and time-lapse video was used in the official video with contributors from around the world documenting simultaneous demonstrations on 5/07/2021! From San Francisco to New York, Costa Rica to Canada, people in almost 100 cities took bold action demanding that major banks stop funding the Line 3 pipeline on Twitter here. twitter.com/StopMoneyPipe/status/1391820801301643264?s=20

Washington DC, The White House, February 8, 2017. Around 300 climate justice activists and supporters gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House in an emergency action to protest the Army Corps Of Engineer's sudden granting of the required easement to proceed with the construction of the last leg of the Dakota Access pipeline. The Corp's action is widely regarded as a capitulation to the climate change denying Trump regime and its cronies and fellow investors in the fossil fuel industry. Facing down militarized police and corporate mercenary violence, brave Native American water protectors and their allies on the ground at Standing Rock have vowed to stage a non-violent 'last stand' against the danger posed to the Missouri River by the pipeline that may be drilled under it any day now.

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…

*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

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…
