Drilling Continues
11:05:00 PM
The Army Corps of Engineers notified Congress on Wednesday that it intends to override the environmental review process for the Dakota Access Pipeline, end the public comment period, and grant Energy Transfer Partners the easement they require to drill under Lake Oahe.
The drilling has officially continued!
The President's announcement of his plans is very interesting. See for yourself:
What can we all do to help?
Lakota People's Law Project is a project of the Romero Institute. The Romero Institute is a team of attorneys, organizers, and researchers. They work on social justice causes.
You can send an email to Donald Trump:
"President Trump said he hasn't received one call complaining about DAPL. That's because he closed the White House comment line! Well, we can still email him. Let’s make sure the president knows how many people object to his decision to illegally fast-track the Dakota Access Pipeline."

You can ask congress to speak out against DAPL greenlight:
"Please send a message to your representatives in the House and Senate that we, the people, do not accept the illegal fast-tracking of the Dakota Access Pipeline through sacred lands without diligent environmental oversight previously requested and promised. We encourage you to personalize your message by adding your own thoughts as you see fit."
