Hi, 

Just got this notice. If you use this ( https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/nodapl-day-of-action-tuesday-sep-13/ )

you will see that there is something at Oakland City Hall (Frank Ogawa Plaza) and in Fremont and in Palo Alto. I am happily stunned to learn of this notice of halting of construction - pretty amazing. Perhaps there will be more communities around California taking action. Please read, take action and distribute as you can - maybe there will be more actions set up.

 

Best. bln

Barbara,

I have great news!

Today, the federal government announced a halt on construction of a critical stretch of the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Reservation until additional environmental assessments on the project are complete.

This is a big deal! 

The fight to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline is far from over, but we should celebrate this incredibly significant victory.

The federal government didn't take these actions on their own. They were responding to unrelenting pressure from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other Native American leaders from across the country.

In fact, the gathering at the Sacred Stones Camp is the largest gathering of Native Americans in more than 100 years. What happened there over the last several days inspired a nation -- a nation that too often forgets and neglects the original inhabitants of this land.

That's why I started the petition demanding an investigation into the security guards who attacked the land protesters at the camp. While Sioux Tribe and other activists took action to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline, I wanted to ensure that the American public had their back. I wanted to make sure that while the tribe and other Native leaders were taking a stand and risking so much for the land, we were taking a stand for them.

And I have more good news on that as well. 

The North Dakota media is reporting that the North Dakota Private Investigation and Security Board will investigate the use of dogs last week by private security guards at the Dakota Access Pipeline construction site. 

The article announcing the investigation specifically cites our petition as a reason why the security guards will be investigated. 

Without you signing this petition, I believe these "security guards" would have gotten away with their heinous actions.

Today proves that the more people who speak out, the bigger the impact we can have.  

We still have a long fight ahead, and we're not going anywhere. I'll send you updates about how you can stay involved, but in the meantime be sure to follow these groups on Facebook for more information about how you can support their work.

Best,

Matt
