Appalachia Stands with Standing Rock! #NoDAPL Solidarity Action

Start: Tuesday, November 15, 201612:30 PM

The movement to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline is growing stronger by the day, and it’s time for all of us to rise up and play a role in this fight.

West Virginians, Kentuckians, Ohioans: Are you feeling the call to stand with Standing Rock? This is our moment. We need you to show up and show some Appalachian solidarity!

Join us on Tuesday, November 15 for a solidarity action and rally at the Army Corps of Engineers office at 502 Eighth Street in downtown Huntington, WV, at 12:30pm, calling on them to revoke the permits for this dirty oil pipeline.

The Army Corps fast-tracked the Dakota Access Pipeline without proper consultation, and as a result, bulldozers are approaching Standing Rock as we speak. But with coordinated, massive demonstrations across the country, we’ll make it clear that this powerful movement will not allow the Obama administration or the incoming President to sacrifice Indigenous rights, our water, or our climate - they must reject this pipeline.

Here's the call for the day of action from water protectors & the Indigenous Environmental Network:

This day of action is one of many calls for solidarity actions targeting not only the Army Corps, but stakeholders at every level -- including the banks who are funding Dakota Access and the companies building the project.
