NO to Dakota Access Pipeline!<br>
<br>
Yesterday (2/7) the Army Corps of Engineers announced it will allow
construction of Dakota Access Pipeline immediately, without even the
legally required 14-day Congressional notice period. Today, groups
across the country are protesting. A demonstration is being
organized here against Chase Bank and PNC Bank, which are among
those banks funding the pipeline project.<br>
<br>
The event starts at 4pm today (Feb 8th) at Chase Bank at 201 W
University Ave in downtown Champaign.<br>

<p>Join us in targeting two of the banks funding Dakota Access
Pipeline that is located both here in Illinois and at Standing
Rock. We will be starting our action at 4pm at the Chase Bank
on University Avenue and continue on to the PNC Bank on Main
Street. We will have at least two folks divesting their
personal funds at each bank and anyone is welcome to join this
action!<br>

Army Corps of Engineers just gave notice to grant DAPL
easement and discard the Environmental Impact Statement,
thanks to the Trump administration. This is neocolonialism.
This is state-sanctioned violence. This is our water. <br>
<br>
We need everyone.<br>
