[Peace] Nov. 15 Champaign #NoDAPL Army Corps of Engineers / CERL

[Robert Naiman]

This is happening on November 15:

Nov 15 #NoDAPL Day of Action at Army Corps of Engineers
https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/nov-15-nodapl-day-of-action-at-army-corps-of-engineers

Indigenous leaders are calling on us to take to the streets and disrupt
"business-as-usual" one week after the election to demand that President
Obama’s Army Corps of Engineers and the incoming administration stop the
Dakota Access Pipeline -- and all those after it.

On Tuesday, November 15th, join a massive day of action in solidarity with
those at Standing Rock, and demand the Federal government and the Army
Corps reject this pipeline.

Find an event at an Army Corps of Engineer office near you, or sign up to
host an action in your city to support the indigenous communities and
landowners fighting on the front lines.

*(If you're not near a District HQ, you can search Google to identify if
there's a local Army Corps of Engineers field office in your city)*

So, here's what putting "Army Corps of Engineers" and "Champaign" in the
Google turned up:

US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory
WebsiteDirections
Research institute in Champaign, Illinois · 3.2 mi
Address: 2902 Newmark Dr, Champaign, IL 61822
Phone: (217) 352-6511

http://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Locations/CERL/

Anyone know anything about this place? Seems like it probably has a bunch
of ties to the University - otherwise, what is it doing here? There's just
a few of these Army Corps research labs across the U.S.

What do you think about pressing the leadership there to make some kind of
statement about DAPL?

Who's up for going to visit them on November 15?
