ETA: The Army Corps of Engineers has postponed granting permission to build a particular section of the pipeline along a particular route until an Environmental Impact Statement has been carried out. That means construction has been delayed but not necessarily halted altogether -- although as the whole enterprise seems to be on shaky financial ground, delaying it sufficiently may be enough to kill it.
This is a significant victory. However, my understanding is that the action to close down the Oceti Sakowin encampment and actions to prevent people joining other camps and so on are still scheduled to go ahead, so still need to be protested.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is threatening to shut down Oceti Sakowin, the largest encampment of water protectors and allied protestors opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline.You can use this form from the ACLU to send a message to the Corps demanding that they back off from their plan to shut down Oceti Sakowin.
Late last week the Corps issued notice to Dave Archambault II, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe chairman, that on December 5th they’ll close public access to the land where the encampment is set up, and threatened “prosecution under federal, state, or local laws” of those who remain.
