BREAKING NEWS!!

Victory!! Army Corps Denies Easement for Dakota Access Pipeline!!

Today, the Army Corps of Engineers announced that it would not grant the easement required for construction of the Dakota Access pipeline, effectively halting the project. The announcement comes a little more than a day before the Army Corps planned to evict the protectors.

This is a tremendous victory for the Standing Rock Sioux and all who have stood with them!

The fight is far from over, however. The Army Corps plans to do a full environmental review and look at alternative routes for the pipeline. Alternative routes just move the problem to someone else’s back yard. The only acceptable solution is to stop the pipeline altogether.

Our plans for demonstrations next Sunday have not changed, but they may take a more celebratory tone! See below for details!

Demonstrations Scheduled in Reading and the Lehigh Valley on 12/11!

Darree Sicher and Karen Feridun are co-organizing coordinated demonstrations in Reading and Bethlehem on 12/11 at noon. We’re still confirming locations, so check back for updates. Please share the Facebook event links with friends. You don’t need to be a FB user to see them. And please bring signs if you can. We’ll have a few on hand.
