Digital rally to tell Joe Biden: Stop Line 3 & DAPL! People power, not Pipelines!

When Joe Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, we were elated. After years of fighting this tar sands pipeline, we finally had a President who understood the need to act – and took decisive action on his first day in office.

But KXL wasn’t the only tar sands pipeline we need to stop. KXL’s twin (in size and design) is the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota. And the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) has been operating illegally since the Trump Administration forced it through.

Tomorrow, February 25, we’re joining a virtual rally, bringing together community leaders from fossil fuel impacted communities on the frontlines of stopping Line 3 and the Dakota Access pipelines, and demanding a climate test. Won’t you join us?

More than 200,000 of us have spoken out in support of Minnesota water protectors rising up to protect land, water, and treaty rights from the Line 3 pipeline. Meanwhile communities in the path of the Dakota Access pipeline who have been organizing for years, have stepped up their pressure on Biden in recent weeks to end the project once and for all.

One day after our rally, President Biden will travel to Texas to tour the site of the first climate-fueled disaster of his presidency. But we know the recent cold snap wont be the last climate-disaster Biden has to deal with. Building new fossil fuel infrastructure — especially for the dirtiest oil on earth: Tar sands — only makes those disasters more frequent and more deadly, especially for black, indigenous, and other communities of color on the frontlines.

If we’re going to build back better, as the President Biden has promised, we’ll need to end these dangerous pipelines, stop all new fossil fuel infrastructure, and #BuildBackFossilFree. Tomorrow, join us for a digital rally to deliver that message, backed by hundreds of thousands of petition signatures. See you there!

  1. Let the Tar sands stay in the ground. Its a disaster waiting to happen by THE dirtiest fuel out there. The abrasive fluids cut through EVERY pipe material. Its too EXPENSIVE to triple wall and add sensors so it WON”T BE designed correctly. THEY won’t be held liable so tax payers, wildlife, the environment, indigenous family will be paying the price. STOP THIS NONSENSE NOW. grow some Kahunas and take a stand on the right side of justice.
