Still Standing With Standing Rock
In December of last year The Army Corps of Engineers denied Energy Transfer Partners the final permit they needed to complete the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Army Corps proclaimed that construction would not be permitted until an environmental impact study (EIS) was completed.
This news came under President Obama's final weeks in office. The Trump administration was eager to reverse this decision with the new president signing an executive order to advance the DAPl within his first week in office. On February 7th news broke that the Army Corps reversed their decision to complete an EIS and had granted the final permit needed to complete the pipeline.
On February 8th outraged citizen across the country took to the streets to protest the news. In San Francisco a few hundred people showed up in the rain to show their support for the cause. The organized action started at 8am in the morning and consisted of speakers, prayer, dance, and 18 people peacefully being arrested for blocking the doors of the federal building on 7th Street.
Musicians and dancers show their support to the Standing Rock community.
