There is immense power in the hope and beauty of this urgent fight.
I add my voice to the call: join us here to # StandWithStandingRock at this pivotal moment in history.
Even armchair activists can contribute to rectifying this travesty, according to Yes magazine' article "How to Contact the 17 Banks Funding the Dakota Access Pipeline." Yes! says: "The Dakota Access pipeline is funded directly by 17 banks, many of which--Citibank, Wells Fargo--are ones you've probably heard of or do business with... Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, recently wrote an article for YES! suggesting that banks are more susceptible to public pressure than the oil and gas giants, which depend on bank loans and lines of credit to build their pipelines."
The article provides the contact info for the banks, including SunTrust, Comerica, U.S.Bank, PNC Bank, JPMorganChase, Bank of America, Compass Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley, and others.
OEN is proud that our own Georgianne Nienaber has been rigorously covering the Standing Rock situation for months, and was one of the first journalists to do so. Please see her series here:
