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.
Members of the Stop Williams Pipeline Coalition visited Assemblymember Stacey Pfeffer-Amato and State Senator Joseph Addabbo on February 25, 2019 urging them to join over 40 NYC elected officials and sign on to a letter opposing the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline slated for NYC shores just off the Rockaway Peninsula.

People Vs Fossil Fuels : Biden Keep Your Promise -
NO New Oil & Gas Leases
Golden Gate Bridge
June 27, 2022
Message to President Biden today at the Golden Gate Bridge, from the organizers -
"The Golden Gate Bridge sits on public land. It’s an iconic example of what public lands – our national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, monuments, and more – are meant to preserve and protect. Yet the Biden administration is allowing for nearly 150K acres of public lands to be sold for oil and gas drilling, which is toxic to our climate and our communities.
President Biden could stop these oil and gas lease sales on our public lands and waters with the stroke of a pen. Join us in calling on Biden to #BanFossilFuelLeasing once and for all, and protect the lands and the waters we love!"
