Take Action! Sign the Petition #NoDAPL!
The fight to stop the Dakota Access pipeline isn’t over — and there’s a key way you can help take the next step to protect indigenous lands, safe drinking water, and human rights from Big Oil & Gas bullies.
Seventeen big banks are invested in the Dakota Access pipeline, and their money is what makes it financially possible for the oil and gas industry to build this dirty project.
That means the Standing Rock water protectors are not only fighting the energy industry, they’re also up against some of the most powerful financial interests on Wall Street. Is your bank one of them?
Banks on the Dakota Access project loan include:
Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, BayernLB, BBVA, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Crédit Agricole, DNB ASA, ICBC, ING, Intesa Sanpaolo, Mizuho Bank, Natixis, SMBC, Société Générale, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, TD Bank, and Wells Fargo. And even more banks provide funding to Energy Transfer Partners, the company behind the project.
Urge the banks funding the Dakota Access pipeline to stop supporting this terrible project!
Even when corporations aren’t fazed by laws, regulations, environmental protections or human rights, they tend to notice when the money dries up.
We’re witnessing a powerful moment in the movement to protect people and our climate from corporate greed. And we can’t allow a private oil and gas corporation to build a dirty pipeline through sacred indigenous lands, put key waterways at risk, and keep us addicted to climate-changing fossil fuels.
So it’s time to speak loudly and clearly, and in a language all corporations understand: money. Make it clear to the banks that the Dakota Access pipeline is a bad investment.
Thanks for taking action,
