It was supposed to accept comments from people like you. </font></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial">But two weeks ago Donald Trump signed an executive action to speed up the project. Now the Corps is in Trump’s pocket.</font></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial">You can still resist Trump and this pipeline by cutting off the funding to complete it. Wall Street giants Citigroup and Wells Fargo are part of a group of banks who provided a $2.5 billion loan for the project. We need you to tell the banks to stop the pipeline!</font></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=WfGMYM%2BZAPEY7ZIMm6PUTleTrR8W%2FThy">Don’t let Trump force construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline! Tell Citigroup and Wells Fargo to pull their loans for the project.</a></font></span></b></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial">The Trump Administration’s action is a betrayal of the Water Protectors who stood up for their water and sovereignty. This dangerous project threatens the water supply of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. And it cuts through wildlife habitat and the tribe’s ancestral lands.</font></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial">The Water Protectors and their allies have been fighting this project for nearly a year. They’ve faced a pattern of police and private security violence. Attack dogs, rubber bullets, concussion grenades, tazers and mace have been used. Hundreds of people have been injured.</font></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial">By pushing the banks to cut off funding for the pipeline, you’re not only helping to resist the project -- you’re drawing more and more attention to the fight. As people take to the streets in the coming days, that attention could force police and private security forces to think twice about using violence.</font></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=yDJ8SMo2w2RxRG21mSN0RFeTrR8W%2FThy">Take action now: Help stop the Dakota Access pipeline by cutting off the money!</a></font></span></b></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial">Donald Trump has made it clear that his America does not include the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect their land, water, sacred cultural sites and climate from dangerous pipelines.</font></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial">But Trump doesn’t know how big a fight that he’s in for.
