Good news on Standing Rock

SumOfUs r1 ...

Huge news! Yesterday, Bank DNB announced it is going to sell its assets in the Dakota Access Pipeline project!

It’s clear our message is having an impact. On Tuesday, we delivered hundreds of thousands of signatures right to the Bank’s offices in Norway, and thousands of us flooded its Facebook page with messages in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation.

Two days later, we won.

The Chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council sent us this note:

We are pleased that Bank DNB is weakening its ties to DAPL. It was a wise decision, especially given Energy Transfer Partners’ continuous disregard for our land, water, and sovereignty. Recent comments by Energy Transfer Partners CEO indicate the company seems intent on ramping up aggression, which is why it is of the utmost importance that other banks follow the example of DNB.

This major milestone could only happen because all around the world, people like you stood in support of the Standing Rock Sioux and the courageous water defenders on the ground right now in North Dakota. And they need our support more than ever with the incoming Trump administration.

But our fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline is not over yet -- we have plans to force other banks to pull out of DAPL, and we promise we won’t stop until we win.

Thank you for everything you’ve done to support this campaign so far. Can you please share this great news with your friends and family now?

(Tip: More of your friends will see what you share if you include a comment or tag their names!)

Also, check out the photos of the delivery! You can click on the pictures to see coverage in the Norwegian press.
