Vote NO on South Dakota HB 1117. Protect the Protectors, Penalize the Polluters.

ACTION ALERT: STOP South Dakota’s HB1117

Protect the Protectors, Penalize the Polluters.

Greetings Relatives,

Just after TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) announced it is set to begin construction on the Keystone XL pipeline as soon as next month, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem filed a revival of House Bill 1117, also known as the South Dakota Riot Boosting Bill. This bill, like the 2019 “Riot Boosting Act” it replaces, is meant to silence land, sky and water protectors, and suppress any protectors from reviving the Water is Life movement that the world watched at Standing Rock.

Climate chaos is happening right now in our communities. Instead of silencing the justified dissent of vulnerable people, our elected leaders should be penalizing polluters and advocating for a just transition to protect South Dakota’s natural resources.

Currently, HB 1117 is in the House State Affairs Committee and Indigenous communities through out Oceti Sakowin need you to call the Committee members and tell them to VOTE NO on HB 1117.
