BREAKING: Keystone XL permit approved


Rainforest Action Network


Chris,

Keystone XL is back. But so are we.

The Trump Administration has approved the final federal permit for the Keystone XL (KXL). But we still have a chance to stop KXL — if we get 21 banks to drop TransCanada, the company behind this disastrous tar sands pipeline.

Tell banks like JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citibank to defund KXL! (https://www.ran.org/defundkxl?e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defundkxl4&n=1)

KXL would be a disaster for everybody except the friends of the Trump administration who will be lining their pockets at the planet's expense. But even fossil fuel giants like TransCanada need the support of big banks to lend them the kind of money required for construction of such gargantuan industrial infrastructure.

Twenty one financial institutions currently serve as TransCanada’s ATM by offering a five billion dollar line of credit to its pipeline business. JP Morgan Chase and Bank of Montreal are the lead banks.

Banks like Citibank and Wells Fargo, who funded the Dakota Access Pipeline, actually re-upped their support for TransCanada while Indigenous water protectors and allies were resisting at Standing Rock.

Tell banks to drop TransCanada, the company behind the KXL pipeline. (https://www.ran.org/defundkxl?e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defundkxl4&n=3)

Tar sands oil is the worst type of oil for the climate. Tar sands extraction has already contaminated the drinking water and food of First Nations people in Canada. Under international human rights standards, Indigenous people must give free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) to development on their lands, and so far TransCanada has failed to secure consent.

After years of protests, in November 2015, President Obama rejected TransCanada’s permit application for the Keystone XL pipeline. We stopped KXL before and we can do it again -- if we follow the money.



We need you to show banks that we won’t tolerate threats to clean water, the climate and Indigenous rights. Sign this petition to tell banks to drop TransCanada and Keystone XL!

#NoKXL


Dear Friends,

Today, nearly six years after the fight over the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline moved into high gear, Donald Trump approved the federal permit for the pipeline -- but this fight is far from over.

It’s not a surprise, but it still feels like a punch in the gut. A punch that should get us good and angry, not knock the wind out of our sails. Seizing this moment will require more of the things that carried us through to this point: passionate organizing, committed actions, and courage on all of our parts.

Here’s how I’ve been thinking about things today, as we prepare to mobilize again:

1) The approval doesn’t mean it’s a done deal. There’s no permitted route through Nebraska; native tribes are hard at work in South Dakota; and a team of lawyers are gearing up to play their role as I write.

2) We’ve already won an awful lot. Six years times 800,000 barrels of oil a day equals a lot of carbon emissions saved. Not to mention that six years of delay has cost Transcanada a small fortune.

3) Every new pipeline, frack well and coal port is being fought and fought hard. You’ve heard of some of these fights, like the Dakota Access pipeline, but there are now hundreds of them across the world. Keystone jumpstarted a whole new phase of the movement to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

There are many, many people who’ve been working to stop Keystone since the beginning, and they’re gearing up for this next round of the fight.

Join a live strategy session on Monday, March 27th at 8:00 PM EST to hear from movement leaders who’ve defeated Keystone once, and are ready to do it again. (http://act.350.org/go/13885?t=1&utm_medium=email&utm_source=actionkit&akid=20773.2455817.WTc_0F)

I’ll be one of the presenters on the webinar together with brilliant organizers, Jane Kleeb with Bold Alliance, Wayne Frederick, Rosebud Sioux Tribe Council, Michael Brune from Sierra Club, Lindsey Allen from the Rainforest Action Network and Eriel Deranger from Indigenous Climate Action. We’ll talk about how we can fight this pipeline with every available tool in our toolbox.

I wish there was a silver bullet — there’s just more of the hard work we’ve been doing for years. We organize, we build big movements, we fight.

We’ve got each other, and together we do good things. The next step we’ll take together is in DC on April 29 for the Peoples Climate March. You’ll see some familiar pipeline fighters there, along with tens of thousands of others, standing together against this industry’s endless greed.

Sign up now to join the live strategy session and we’ll send you a link to watch the live stream. (http://act.350.org/go/13885?t=2&utm_medium=email&utm_source=actionkit&akid=20773.2455817.WTc_0F) During the webinar, you’ll be able to share your thoughts and submit questions.

See you there and in many places after that,

Bill

TrumpCare dies, XL flies – and the Secret Winner is…

TrumpCare dies, XL flies
and the Secret Winner is…

by Greg Palast for OpedNews

https://gallery.mailchimp.com/33e4ec877eed6a43863a4a92e/images/b3426223-bf2c-4aa2-bfb8-4388a9550c57.png
Koch Brothers celebrate their victory (from The Best Democracy Money Can Buy)

When RyanCare-TrumpCare finally ended up face-down in the swimming pool, triumphalist Democrats whooped and partied and congratulated themselves on defeating the Trump-Ryan monstrosity.

But deep in their counting house, counting their gold, three brothers cackled with private jubilation.

David and Charles Koch knew the day was theirs.

Joining them in the celebration was Brother Billy, William Koch, who will share in their $21 billion windfall that the President arranged for them only hours before TrumpCare crashed—when Trump announced his State Department had formally approved the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Let's start with that $21 billion.

The XL Keystone Pipeline would take the world's heaviest, filthiest crude from Canada's tar sands, and snake with it all the way down to Texas.

https://gallery.mailchimp.com/33e4ec877eed6a43863a4a92e/images/7745067d-9e9d-4e46-8563-515f3c080b34.jpg
From Greg Palast’s film The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: A Tale of Billionaires and Ballot Bandits

Now here's a question I never hear from our sleep-walking media: Exactly why are we sending oil all the way across the United States to Texas. I mean, doesn't Texas already have a little oil?

In fact, Texas is drowning in oil, choking in it. But the Kochs' Texas refinery can't use much local crude. The Koch Industries Flint Hills refinery on the Texas Gulf Coast was designed specifically to crack only the world's "heaviest" (i.e. filthiest) crude.

Texas crude ain't heavy enough, ain't dirty enough, for the Kochs' Gulf Coast operation, originally designed for imports for the world's major source of heavy crude: Venezuela. The price the Kochs paid for Venezuela's oil was set by its President Hugo Chavez, and now, by Chavez' chosen successor, Nicolas Maduro.

Chavez and Maduro both told me they'd squeeze the Kochs by their tankers.
They have.

Enter the Mounties: Canadians sell their super-heavy crude at a $12 to $30 a barrel discount to the Venezuelan price. If the XL Pipeline is complete, the Kochs can suck down Canada's cheap cruddy crude for a minimum savings of $1.27 billion in a single year.

The Kochs pocket billions while we fry: burning the Canadian tar sands reserve will, all by itself, raise the temperature of the entire planet by 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit.

Over the life of the XL Keystone Pipeline, the various Koch operations will put at minimum, $21 billion in Koch family pockets. Because we have to add in not only Charles' and David's gains, but Brother Billy's windfall as well"

Brother Billy's Filth Factory

http://www.gregpalast.com/wp-content/uploads/Koch-Carbons-petcoke-cloud-Detroit.png
Koch Carbon pet-coke dust cloud, Detroit

The third, lesser-known Koch is Brother William, now principal of Oxbow Carbon. The name itself gives environmentalists the heebee-jeebies.

To keep the tar sands gunk flowing through the Keystone pipeline, the worst of the tar must be extracted and processed as "petcoke," stuff so filthy and toxic it is illegal to burn in the USA. So Billy Koch sells the compressed filth to China and Mexico.

And Billy's bro's have joined the "petcoke" game too. David and Charles' subsidiary, Koch Carbon, already pulls the gunk from the current Keystone pipe where in Detroit it's accumulating in piles bigger than the pyramids. Here's a photo of Koch's coke wafting over Detroit's city parks.

Which explains why the Koch's political front operation, Americans for Prosperity, named approval of the XL Pipeline the number one priority for the Trump presidency.

KochDon'tCare

When TrumpCare breathed its last, the President blamed Democrats for its untimely demise.

A stunned by-stander, Democratic Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, went for it: "We'll take credit for that."

Sorry, Nancy, you can't.

Because it was the Kochs' brownshirts, the self-styled "Freedom Caucus," that, in a bestial assault, crushed a sitting President and their own leader of Congress, Paul Ryan. The thugs' secret weapon: heavy bags of cash, Koch cash.

Koch front groups, including Americans for Prosperity (the XL promoter, promised unlimited funds to any far-right Congressman who would vote against the bill. The Kochs' Freedom Partners Executive Director told members of the uber-right Congressional Freedom Caucus, "We will stand with lawmakers who keep their promise and oppose this legislation" with a "seven-figure" war chest. In the old days, that was called "bribery." But today it's called, "Koch."

Blow-hard Trump threatened them, but Koch's money protected them.

The Kochs don't want ObamaCare, TrumpCare, nor any care at all for Americans that add to their tax bill. Call it KochDon'tCare.

Billionaires versus Billionaires

But keen observers of TrumpCare would note that it was not really a health care bill, but a tax bill–specifically, a tax cut of some $157 billion that has been charged to the richest Americans to fund ObamaCare through a 3.75% tax on passive investment income—that is, money earned, not by working, but by speculating.

Because behind the public creator of the bill, Speaker Paul Ryan, stood Ryan's number one funder, a billionaire known as The Vulture. The Vulture, aka Paul Singer, makes all his money by nasty methods excoriated even in the Wall Street Journal.

http://www.gregpalast.com/wp-content/uploads/vulture-singer-by-keith-tucker-png_1833_20170327-36-e1490678565501.png (http://gregpalast.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=33e4ec877eed6a43863a4a92e&id=10e2f31726&e=9dee5d6b03)
Paul 'The Vulture' Singer, from The Best Democracy Money Can Buy (Image by Keith Tucker)

In Trump's weird psycho-babbling press conference last month, he said, "So I want to thank Paul Singer for being here and for coming up to the office." Reporters scratched their head, not knowing who this "Singer" is nor why Trump brought it up.

Now, you know what that was about.

Singer makes all his money from speculation income. The Ryan-Trump "healthcare" bill was first and foremost a tax cut for Singer, likely worth billions to The Vulture (and more to his cohort including Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin).

But to the Kochs, this tax break is nearly worthless. So, behind the curtain, this was a fight of billionaires versus billionaires.

The Kochs, having built up their army of useful idiots—the Koch-funded Tea Party and Freedom Caucus, won this one. (Hey, no hard feelings. The Vulture still dines with the Kochs in Vail and donates to their super-PACs.)

Sure, let's breathe a sigh of relief that, with ObamaCare momentarily saved, we won't have more amputees begging in the subway, meth addicts croaking in New Hampshire and my bank account emptied for my next heart surgery.

It's not Trump's victory that portends fascism—it is the bending of Trump by the hands of the poisonously greedy Brothers Koch that brings the fascist corporatist state one day closer.

And that is nothing to celebrate.

We're still fighting California's bad investments in fossil fuels


Climate Hawks Vote


Chris --

The oil may be in the Dakota Access Pipeline, but we’re still demanding that California’s giant pension fund, CalPERS, divest from Energy Transfer Partners, the DAPL owner. CalPERS blinked a bit after we flooded their February meeting. And we’re not going away.

We’re preparing for CalPERS’ next meeting in Sacramento on April 19.

Thanks for adding your name to oppose CalPERS’ $366 million investment in the Dakota Access Pipeline. Can you take a moment to contact CalPERS board members directly?

Yes, I can make a phone call! (http://act.climatehawksvote.com/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2 F1OZaplLClItQDa27Hk0c6xxN6U0pfL3dCqfPsmGDzYPE%2Fed it&e=47e9a1a6644da5477d69829971ba02a5&utm_source=climatehawksvote&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170411_calper&n=1)

Yes, I can send an email to the board! (http://act.climatehawksvote.com/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2 F1sfJZIRgyeFkPVVm3TbDkj8RJgSkrbqt2XeAJuTFNtm4%2Fed it&e=47e9a1a6644da5477d69829971ba02a5&utm_source=climatehawksvote&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170411_calper&n=2)

Yes, I can post on Twitter and Facebook! (http://act.climatehawksvote.com/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2 F1c2zXlwhGyOxYzWO9U-4qyTJW55zIB-xuQh22Ma1mRNo%2Fedit&e=47e9a1a6644da5477d69829971ba02a5&utm_source=climatehawksvote&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170411_calper&n=3)

Oil is now flowing under the Standing Rock Sioux grounds, the Missouri River, and Lake Oahe. In other words, California retirees are, right now, invested in fueling global climate destruction. It’s not a hypothetical case that might come to pass unless CalPERS writes enough strongly worded letters. It’s reality. And it’s wrong.

DAPL isn’t Energy Transfer Partners’ only project. ETP is also invested in the not-yet-built Trans Pecos Pipeline in west Texas to sell our fracked natural gas to Mexico (hey, remember when fracking was supposed to promote energy independence for Americans?).

Climate hawks flooded the CalPERS board meeting in February - and CalPERS blinked, a little. After listening to your calls and your public testimony in February, CalPERS wrote a letter to ETP asking that the Dakota Access Pipeline be rerouted away from the Sioux lands. The CalPERS board knows that ETP is a bad actor. But of course ETP didn’t listen to the letter, and the oil is now flowing. That roundly ignored letter demonstrates the limitations of shareholder engagement - and why CalPERS must divest.

We can win—the board members, including state treasurer John Chiang and state controller Betty Yee, are responsible to citizens like you. They need to hear from you that California should not be investing in businesses that don’t reflect California’s values.

This is not just a California issue. CalPERS is one of the largest institutional investors in the world. And leading board member Treasurer John Chiang wants to be the next governor of California, so believe me that he cares about his national reputation. If we make sure the world knows that California's top politicians continue to side with Trump against the Standing Rock Sioux, we can win. This is our big chance. I’m going to be in Sacramento on April 19 to remind CalPERS that we are not going away. Are you with us?

I can call CalPERS to divest. (http://act.climatehawksvote.com/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2 F1OZaplLClItQDa27Hk0c6xxN6U0pfL3dCqfPsmGDzYPE%2Fed it&e=47e9a1a6644da5477d69829971ba02a5&utm_source=climatehawksvote&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170411_calper&n=4)

I can email CalPERS to divest. (http://act.climatehawksvote.com/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2 F1sfJZIRgyeFkPVVm3TbDkj8RJgSkrbqt2XeAJuTFNtm4%2Fed it&e=47e9a1a6644da5477d69829971ba02a5&utm_source=climatehawksvote&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170411_calper&n=5)

I can ask CalPERS to divest on Twitter and Facebook. (http://act.climatehawksvote.com/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2 F1c2zXlwhGyOxYzWO9U-4qyTJW55zIB-xuQh22Ma1mRNo%2Fedit&e=47e9a1a6644da5477d69829971ba02a5&utm_source=climatehawksvote&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20170411_calper&n=6)

Dear Chris,

The Trump administration has issued the final federal permits for the Keystone XL.1

This dangerous action by the Trump administration reverses one of our biggest climate victories of the Obama administration – but the fight to stop the pipeline is far from over.

TransCanada needs a permit to build part of the pipeline through Nebraska, and the Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC), which is conducting a multi-month review of the pipeline project, is currently accepting comments from the public. This a crucial opportunity to speak out and pressure the Nebraska PSC to reject TransCanada’s permit and stop Keystone XL once and for all.

TransCanada’s proposed route through Nebraska would destroy sensitive and environmentally important ecosystems as well as threaten the region’s water supply. The pipeline would cut through the massive Sandhills region in north-central Nebraska, a fragile region of sand dunes and prairie grass home to endangered species such as the whooping and sandhill cranes, bald eagles and the burying beetle.2

Potential oil spills from the pipeline would be devastating and could contaminate the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the world’s largest underground freshwater sources. The aquifer supplies drinking water for millions people in the region and provides irrigation for 20 percent of the nation’s farmland.3,4

Our allies in the climate justice movement have filed lawsuits to block the construction of the pipeline, so this is our opportunity to join the fight to protect the environment and prevent dirty tar sands oil in Canada from fueling runaway climate change. With a so-called president who publicly denies climate science and an administration in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry, this action could be one of our last chances to stop the Keystone XL pipeline.

Tell Citi: Respect Indigenous rights


Rainforest Action Network


Dear Chris,

I’m currently outside the Citi shareholders’ meeting in New York City, where Indigenous activists and their allies are peacefully demonstrating against Citi’s tar sands pipelines. The rallying cry today is “Divest, Defund, Decolonize!”

Take action now: tell Citi to respect Indigenous rights and stop funding environmental destruction. (https://www.ran.org/citi_indigenous_rights?e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42 f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=citi2017_f&n=1)

Citi was a top lender to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Citi’s client Energy Transfer Partners failed to secure consent to build this disastrous pipeline on sacred Indigenous land. And, as widely covered by the global media, egregious human rights abuses were committed during the pipeline construction.

Now Citi is funding TransCanada, Kinder Morgan, and Enbridge — three companies trying to build tar sands pipelines through Indigenous lands and against the will of Indigenous peoples.

Tell Edward Skyler, Citi’s Executive Vice President of Global Public Affairs, that Citi must respect Indigenous rights and stop funding human rights abuses. (https://www.ran.org/citi_indigenous_rights?e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42 f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=citi2017_f&n=2)

Citi’s tar sands pipelines will wreak havoc on Indigenous lands and water. More than 120 Canadian First Nations and U.S. tribes have formally opposed these pipelines in the Treaty Alliance Against Tar Sands.

Today the United Nations (UN) is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which enshrines the right of Indigenous Peoples to give their Free, Prior, and Informed Consent for development that impacts their land.

Tell Citi that it’s past time for banks to respect Indigenous rights and our shared climate. (https://www.ran.org/citi_indigenous_rights?e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42 f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=citi2017_f&n=3)

Sign the Petition: Tell the Nebraska Public Service Commissions - No More Pipelines


Chris,

On May 3, 2017 there will be a public meeting on the Keystone XL pipeline; you have an opportunity to post your comments prior to the meeting. We know that Keystone XL not only threatens local water supplies but it also continues to fuel climate change. Additionally, it doesn't lead to American energy dependence, it simply puts money in the pockets of the oil and gas industry. The meager promise of jobs is a sham; there are no jobs on a dead planet.

We join with our partner, CREDO, in telling the Nebraska Public Service Commission to Stop the Keystone XL pipeline.

In solidarity,

Andrea Miller
Executive Director

The Trump administration has issued the final federal permits for the Keystone XL.1

This dangerous action by the Trump administration reverses one of our biggest climate victories of the Obama administration – but the fight to stop the pipeline is far from over.

TransCanada needs a permit to build part of the pipeline through Nebraska, and the Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC), which is conducting a multi-month review of the pipeline project, is currently accepting comments from the public. This a crucial opportunity to speak out and pressure the Nebraska PSC to reject TransCanada’s permit and stop Keystone XL once and for all.

Stop the Pipeline. #DefundKXL


Rainforest Action Network


Dear Chris,

Thanks to your support, we organized demonstrations at dozens of banks during the #DefundKXL Week of Action — setting the stage for the People’s Climate March Saturday. Activists across the country rallied at Citibank, Wells Fargo, TD Bank and JPMorgan Chase branches calling on banks to pull support from TransCanada, the company building the Keystone XL pipeline.

Can you help us continue to build the #DefundKXL movement by sharing our petition to banks? (https://www.ran.org/defundkxl?e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kxlwoa_wu&n=1)

In San Francisco, Indigenous women and the SF #DefundDAPL Coalition led a march to City Hall. They demanded that San Francisco stop doing business with banks funding TransCanada, the company building Keystone XL.

Activists with DivestLA in Los Angeles visited multiple bank branches and dropped a banner above the 110 freeway that runs through the middle of the city. Folks in Chicago protested at a JPMorgan Chase branch, and our friends in Reno, Nevada, called on The University of Nevada Reno to divest from Keystone XL.

Help us reach more people: share the petition to banks. (https://www.ran.org/defundkxl?e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kxlwoa_wu&n=4)

This is just the beginning.

This vital movement is committed to stopping the Keystone XL and other tar sands pipelines that will wreak havoc on Indigenous lands and water. More than 120 Canadian First Nations and U.S. tribes have formally opposed Keystone XL and other pipelines in the Treaty Alliance Against Tar Sands.

But we need your help.

Dakota Access Pipeline leaked


Climate Hawks Vote


Chris:

The oil industry called the Dakota Access Pipeline “one of the safest, most technologically advanced pipelines in the world.” But before Trump’s newly-approved DAPL is even fully operational, South Dakotans are already dealing with its first oil spill.

At a pump station just north of Crandon in Spink County, the spill was just 100 miles away (we checked) from Lake Oahe, which supplies Sioux tribes with water. The spill this time was only 84 gallons, but there’s no telling the consequences of the next one. The fact is: pipelines leak.

We’ve been fighting alongside tribal leaders and climate activists to oppose the completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline for more than a year now. It’s a hazard to local environments, water supplies, sacred lands, and our climate.

We’ve delivered 38,000 signatures on a petition to California’s giant pension fund, CalPERS, to divest from the fossil-fuel companies behind DAPL. We’ve raised more than $17,000 to support water protectors injured on the front lines in Standing Rock. And we took the fight to North Dakota’s Democratic senator supporting the pipeline as well as the Army Corps of Engineers.

Keep fighting dirty oil pipelines: contribute today to the resistance efforts against DAPL, Keystone XL, and other oil pipelines.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:

$3.50

We’re never going to give up. We know that keeping fossil fuels in the ground is essential to winning climate justice. We know that Big Oil has polluted our communities for too long.

It’s on our movement to halt these pipelines before more and more oil spills and burns.

Your fellow climate hawk,

Brad Johnson

Citi: What's Next?


Rainforest Action Network


Dear Chris,

Thank you for emailing Citi to tell them to respect Indigenous rights! With over 18,000 emails sent to Citi and the on the ground action at their shareholder meeting, Citi heard us loud and clear: honor Indigenous rights, stop fossil fuel investments, and invest in a Just Transition with renewable energy for a climate-stable future.

The local NYC organizing team was led by young Indigenous women.

Kandi Mossett from the Indigenous Environmental Network streamed the outside action on Facebook live (https://www.ran.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fkandi.mossett %2Fvideos%2F10155446539886844%2F&e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=citi_ty&n=2).

The rally included a performance by Reverend Billy & the Stop Shopping Choir, and a few unscheduled visits, including one from Ladonna Brave Bull Allard who started the first resistance camp (Sacred Stone) to the Dakota Access pipeline on her family's property.

Activists dropped a banner that read: Divest, Defund, Decolonize at the historic Cooper Union building.

http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/rainforestactionnetwork/mailings/3325/attachments/original/CitiFlood_v1_FB.jpg?1494878381

Inside the meeting: Citi invited guests Ponca Elder Casey Camp-Horinek and Indigenous Environmental Network’s Kandi Mossett to participate in the question and answer portion of the meeting with the CEO and Board of Directors. Citi’s Chairman, Mike O’Neill, publicly apologized for approving investments in the Dakota Access Pipeline (https://www.ran.org/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Farticle%2Fus-citigroup-shareholder-meeting-idUSKBN17R20Y&e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=citi_ty&n=3).

Before Casey and Kandi spoke, two fancy dancers and a drummer interrupted the meeting, dancing traditionally on the stage around the CEO & Board. The dancers wore traditional shawls that read "if you build it, we will come" (to protect). You can see video of the dancers from Democracy Now’s live coverage (https://www.ran.org/r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FozFuSb4DqBw%3Ft%3D562&e=a562e500eb6a06b9f136adf42f03edfb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=citi_ty&n=4).

Citi is on the right track. They are acknowledging the problems with funding projects like the Dakota Access Pipeline. But our work is not done — we need to continue to push Citi to divest from fossil fuel pipelines, export terminals, and mines; and invest in communities and our future.

Tomorrow is the shareholder meeting of JPMorgan Chase. They are one of two lead banks funding TransCanada, the company building the Keystone XL pipeline. We are taking our movement to defund tar sands pipelines to them. Stay tuned for more.

For people and planet,

Ruth

French banks BNP Paribas (parent company of Bank of the West) and Société Générale are helping two companies finance their proposed fracked-gas export terminals in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley.

These export terminals would be built on top of sites sacred to the Carrizo/Comecrudo (Esto’k Gna) tribe in Texas. They would be located in a mostly low-income Latino/a area and would become the county’s single biggest source of air pollution in an area relatively untouched by industrialization.

Juan Mancias, the chairperson of the Carrizo/Comecrudo tribe, is part of a delegation to France calling on BNP Paribas and Société Générale to pull out of the fracked-gas export terminals in Texas.

Help spread Juan’s message to these banks and to the banking industry. Share the video.

Keystone XL fight heads to Nebraska


NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)

Trump Said Yes to the Keystone XL Pipeline — But Nebraska Can Still Say No

https://secure.nrdconline.org/images/content/pagebuilder/aa-4259-nebraska.jpg (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=iz4UtIpCg-r4jmJBPK0QKg)

Urge the Nebraska Public Service Commission to reject the tar sands pipeline.

TAKE ACTION (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=xWDI68E5ULVeTuj-W25HxQ)


Chris,

Trump may be desperately trying to revive the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, but he's far from the final word on this disastrous project. The Keystone XL still needs approval to route the pipeline through the state of Nebraska — and that's up to state officials.

We need your help to prevail on the Nebraska Public Service Commission to deny permission to route the pipeline through Nebraska.

Urge Nebraska's commissioners to block the Keystone XL pipeline and protect Nebraska's air, water, land and communities. (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=MjITLGmrZmw-v1vjs_PPGg)

Without an approved route through Nebraska, TransCanada, the company behind the pipeline, can't start construction — which means Nebraska has the power to potentially put an end to the Keystone XL once and for all.

NRDC is fighting the pipeline on every front. We've sued the Trump administration for its illegal resurrection of the pipeline. And we're working to persuade investors that Keystone XL is a bad bet, economically and environmentally, and that they should walk away from this project.

Right now, we're counting on the strength of thousands of NRDC supporters like you to speak out. Your quick action is the most important thing you can do to help us stop Trump and his fossil fuel allies from brazenly moving forward with the Keystone XL. (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=hgJsDTyuJiqdXR5QGSyApg)

If built, the pipeline would cross hundreds of Nebraskan rivers and streams, cut within a mile of countless wells and threaten the Ogallala Aquifer, which provides drinking water for more than a million people. What's more, it's a virtual certainty that the pipeline will leak — exposing farms, ranches, families and wildlife to highly volatile, toxic chemicals.

And beyond its potential to devastate America's heartland, the Keystone XL would be responsible for annual greenhouse gas emissions equal to 37.7 million cars, driving climate change and keeping us shackled to the climate-wrecking fossil fuels of the past.

We've stopped Keystone XL before — because people like you rose up together and took action.

Please speak up once again — in solidarity with the people of Nebraska — and tell the Nebraska Public Service Commission to deny approval for the Keystone XL. (http://www.nrdconline.org/site/R?i=fxaHFy4IAZN6YCBCpo8AEw)

Thank you for your support.

Rhea

Protect Minnesota's Water and Wildlife: Stop the Enbridge Pipeline!

Sign Now (http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AXIK0/zS6y/t8hl)


Chris,

The indigenous communities of Minnesota are in danger and your signature could make a difference. Once again, another Native American community finds their lands in an energy company’s crosshairs. And while protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline made news across the globe, the proposed Enbridge 3 pipeline has virtually gone under the radar.

But if we all speak up together against this wrongheaded pipeline we could change that. (http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AXIK0/zS6y/t8hl)

Aside from the dangers it poses to indigenous communities, the pipeline threatens ecosystems and water quality for miles around. Just one spill could destroy the area’s biodiversity for years, not to mention irreversibly clog the waters with toxins.

These communities need our voice to help fight against this dangerous oil pipeline. (http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AXIK0/zS6y/t8hl)

Shockingly, even though a recent environmental impact report has called all proposed routes for the Enbridge 3 "terribly risky" the energy giant is still pushing ahead with their plan. There is just one thing standing in their way: the Minnesota Department of Commerce will decide shortly on the pipeline's fate, and a letter from you could help them make the right decision.

Stand up for indigenous communities, clean water and the environment by signing this petition to stop the Enbridge pipeline now. (http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AXIK0/zS6y/t8hl)

Spying on DAPL protesters


Dear Chris,

This is alarming — Internal documents, first leaked by The Intercept, reveal that Energy Transfer Partners, the company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), hired the private security firm TigerSwan to employ military-style, counterterrorist measures against the Indigenous-led movement to stop DAPL.1

And Food & Water Watch was one of the organizations targeted by these operations.2

TigerSwan infiltrated our Chicago office and posed as volunteers, to spy and collect information about the work we and others were doing to fight the pipeline and all fossil fuel infrastructure.

We are being targeted, because we're effective — and we will NOT back down. Donate to Food & Water Action Fund today to fight back. (http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=UzYRnpAwlh7ObffowLHwbw)

Documents show that TigerSwan worked to “create divisions between activists, manipulate and discredit pipeline opponents, and collect evidence that law enforcement could use to prosecute Standing Rock activists."

This is what we're up against: the industries that we're fighting have nearly unlimited resources to spy, lie and try to discredit us.

Donate today because we will never give into industry intimidation — we will always fight to put you before corrupt corporations. (http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=JCiZnsFk5rB9O-drXSajSQ)

Throughout the fight against the construction of DAPL, water protectors maintained a peaceful resistance, even as police used rubber bullets, bean bag pellets and water cannons against demonstrators. Now we are learning how Energy Transfer Partners shared the information gathered by TigerSwan with law enforcement in order to target the water protectors.

It's clear there is no limit to how low greedy corporations like Energy Transfer Partners will go to make some money — and it's absolutely disgusting.

But the reason Energy Transfer Partners has invested so much in targeting Indigenous water protectors and allies like Food & Water Watch and Black Lives Matter is because building people power and organizing works.

TigerSwan admitted it in one of the leaked reports: “[Food & Water Watch] is expending a large amount of resources and through a very organized and disciplined strategic messaging campaign, interest and participation is growing rapidly.”3

Corporations are worried because they want to frack and build pipelines everywhere they can, but they know that when we work together we have the power to stop them in their tracks.

Will you stand with us and build the power it takes to stop these corporate bullies? (http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=uvy_lWy2QQkpfbh9zW2x_w)

Last year, our research staff supplemented on-the-ground organizing against DAPL by releasing information about the banks financially backing the project.4 Our research showed that these banks were pushing decision makers to move the pipeline forward despite the impact it would have on Indigenous lives and the safety of their water.

We can't trust corporations to protect the interests of people — that's why we expose corporate greed and fight for you. Help us continue this work with a donation today. (http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=MAr9KY3G88OHp5SX7vb8ew)

Food & Water Action Fund doesn't take any money from corporations or the government so that we can remain truly independent and fight for what's best for people, without compromising on the things we can't live without. We rely on donations from our supporters like you to do the research, advocacy and build the people power that it takes to win. (http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=WxSO_P7OSH5wDj3OUayceA)

It's moments like this that make it clear how hard corporations will work to oppose us and put the bottom line first. But trust me when I say: We will never back down.

Onward together,

BREAKING: Court rules against Dakota Access Pipeline


Court Rules in Dakota Access Case: Trump Administration is Not Above the Law


Earthjustice


Dear Chris,

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe won a major victory today in their ongoing battle to protect their drinking water and ancestral lands from the Dakota Access Pipeline. This victory is the result of the Tribe’s inspiring and courageous fight, supported by hundreds of thousands of people like you who spoke up and made your voices heard.

https://secure3.convio.net/ej/images/content/pagebuilder/DAPL_Left_quote.jpg (http://action.earthjustice.org/site/R?i=M7WINsvUC0muMnNGmxQCoQ)

Just days after President Trump’s inauguration, his administration hastily issued federal permits authorizing construction of the pipeline across the Missouri River, just upstream of the Standing Rock Reservation. Today a federal judge ruled that those permits violated the law.

The court ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers did not adequately consider the impacts of an oil spill on fishing rights, hunting rights or environmental justice, or the degree to which the pipeline’s effects are likely to be highly controversial. In short, the Trump administration broke one of our nation’s bedrock environmental laws.

Today the federal courts stepped in where our political systems have failed, but the fight is far from over. The oil continues to flow, and we will continue to fight back in court. Thank you for standing with us.

http://socialistproject.ca/bullet/b1442.jpgIn February, the government of Alberta signed a ten-year framework agreement with the Métis Nation of Alberta, emphasizing a relationship based on recognition, respect, and cooperation. In March, Alberta and the Blackfoot Confederacy signed a protocol agreement on how they will work together on economic development and other areas of concern to both parties. These agreements, of course, are only two of many instances of Indigenous people in the mainstream media recently.
