Standing with Standing Rock
350Sac newletter, Sept. 12, 2016:
Standing Rock doesn’t stand alone
|
Last Friday (Sept. 9), scores of passionate people gathered at the Army Corps office on J St to stand with the Standing Rock Sioux who are fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). If built, the pipeline would carry toxic fracked oil from North Dakota across four states and under the Missouri River. There was no EIR.

This is a truly inspirational story. Thousands are camped in the path of the pipeline, facing down bulldozers, dogs, and police. Friday was a game-changer. First a judge denied the request to halt the pipeline, then moments later the Obama Administration paused the pipeline.
We need to make sure this temporary victory becomes permanent to protect sacred water, tribal rights, and the climate. There will be a rally in Davis on Tuesday, Sept 13 at noon at the old City Hall, 226 F St.

Transition Streets: Learn about Samso Island’s transition to 100% renewable
Transition Streets is all about how we need to make the transition to 100% clean energy and how each of us can have a direct impact.
We have an exciting series of sessions planned starting on Sept 22.
On September 22, 7:00-8:30 pm @Belle Cooledge Library, Charlotte Glode will give a brief presentation on her recent trip to the island of Samso, Denmark, famous for its 100% renewable energy system. Then we will discuss 350 Sacramento’s partnership with SMUD to increase Greenergy enrollments. Finally, we will launch a “virtual neighborhood” of people interested in making their personal lifestyles more sustainable. For more information: Richard Lentz 916-597-2610.
