Citibank: Stop Funding the Dakota Access Pipeline!
Citibank currently holds the largest share in the Dakota Access Pipeline and laid the groundwork for other financials institutions to join in. Urge them to cut off funding to the project immediately!
Why is this important?
In North Dakota, over a thousand people representing more than a hundred tribes are gathered along the Cannonball River by the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to resist the construction of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. More than two dozen major banks and financial institutions including Bank of America, HSBC, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and JPMorgan Chase have combined, extended a $3.75 billion credit line are helping finance the Dakota Access pipeline - a project that would transport about 470,000 barrels of crude a day from western North Dakota down to central Illinois, destroying tribal lands and water resources.
