<p>Monday evening, September 19, the Urbana City Council will consider a resolution against the Dakota Access Pipeline. <br>
<br>
You can read the draft resolution <a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=xB9rco6bCKhYwT8iScEDKMZ%2F%2B%2Bim12b2" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>. <br>
<br>
Please come out, if you can, to support Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing and the Urbana City Council in taking this action. <a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Bqy%2FzQ1G4Vgf%2Fug3e7Lz5MZ%2F%2B%2Bim12b2" target="_blank"><b>There is a sign-up here.</b></a> Or you can just reply to this email to let me know you might be able to come. <br>
<br>
Please <a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=fDa4YPHUzQV31SnT70XfAsZ%2F%2B%2Bim12b2" target="_blank"><b>sign and share our MoveOn petition</b></a> to the Council in support of this action. <br>
<br>
Here's some reasons why this is important: <br>
<br>
1. There's going to be media coverage. More people in support = better media coverage. <br>
<br>
2. We want to set a strong precedent. We want to encourage other local governments and local institutions to take a similar stand. A strong showing in Urbana will set a good precedent and give us momentum for future actions. <br>
<br>
3. It's a chance to tell your story against the pipeline to a bunch of people who won't hear it otherwise: the people in the room, and the people watching the meeting on TV. <br>
<br>
Please join us at 6:30 to greet people with #NoDAPL signs as they come into the meeting. <br>
<br>
Some helpful things to know about public participation at the Urbana City Council meeting: <br>
<br>
1. Public participation is right at the beginning of the meeting. It's helpful to be there before 7 so you can sign in to participate. <br>
<br>
2. In order to participate, you have to fill out one of the public participation yellow slips and hand it to the City Clerk. <br>
<br>
3. You can participate without speaking in front of the Council. You can just mark on the form that you want to be recorded in support of the resolution and hand the resolution to the City Clerk. It will be announced that X people recorded themselves in support. If it's like last week, the number of people who recorded themselves in support will be reported in the press. <br>
<br>
4. You don't have the stay for the whole meeting if you don't want to or can't. If you need to leave after the public participation period is over, that's fine. <br>
<br>
