Good afternoon, Idle No More SF Bay invites you to join us in an emergency day of action tomorrow in San Francisco outside of the*Federal Building located at 90 7th St. San Francisco*, Ca 94103. Join us from *8am until 6pm*. Below is the Facebook invite page and our response to this mornings approval of the final easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline. https://www.facebook.com/events/959089084225279/ "EMERGENCY #NoDAPL <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/nodapl> Action! Arrestival! Stand with us! Share widely! Rain is a blessing! Dress for the weather. FINAL DAPL EASEMENT APPROVED Today, Tuesday February 7, the US Army Corps gave notice of intent to grant the final easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline to cross the Mni Sose (Missouri River). They are skipping the EIS ordered in December, and skipping the congressional notification period required by law. This is a response to President Trump’s Presidential Memorandum directing the Corps to expedite approval of the project. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe will likely sue and ask for a temporary restraining order to halt construction while the legality of this decision is reviewed in court. In the meantime, DAPL will likely start drilling immediately. The media recently reported that DAPL says their "best case scenario" timeline is 83 days from easement to oil flow. WORLDWIDE CALL TO ACTION FEB. 8 The Indigenous Coalition at Standing Rock is calling for February 8th to be an international day of emergency actions to disrupt business as usual and unleash a global intersectional resistance to fossil fuels and fascism. Connect with other struggles. Think long-term movement building. We are in this for the long haul. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has consistently asked for people to go home, and we understand this. Regardless, water protectors remain on the ground at the Sacred Stone Camp, determined to stop the black snake, and we support them. If you go, expect police violence, mass arrests, felony charges for just about anything, abuse while in custody, targeted persecution and racial profiling while driving around the area, etc. We are calling for emergency actions all over the world. PLEASE, THIS IS OUR LAST STAND. Please visit everydayofaction.org <http://everydayofaction.org/> to find or register an action wherever you are. Check out our world action map to join the mass distributed actions TOMORROW, February 8th.

The granting of an easement, without any environmental review or tribal consultation, is not the end of this fight — it is the new beginning. Expect mass resistance far beyond what Trump has seen so far. “The granting of this easement goes against protocol, it goes against legal process, it disregards more than 100,000 comments already submitted as part of the not-yet-completed environmental review process — all for the sake of Donald Trump’s billionaire big oil cronies. And, it goes against the treaty rights of the entire Seven Councils Fires of the Sioux Nations. “Donald Trump has not met with a single Native Nation since taking office. Our tribal nations and Indigenous grassroots peoples on the frontlines have had no input on this process. We support the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, and stand with them at this troubling time.” You can read that notification letter here: http://www.ienearth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dakota-Access-Pipeline-No... <http://www.ienearth.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dakota-Access-Pipeline-Notification-Grijalva.pdf> " Hope to see you there, Idle No More SF Bay On Feb 7, 2017, at 5:41 PM, cynthia papermaster cynthia_papermaster@yahoo.com <mailto:cynthia_papermaster@yahoo.com> [fukushimaresponse] wrote:

Dear Mr. Owen,

The piping of oil has a history of spills. Four days ago, aboriginal land in Sasketchewan, Canada, was polluted with over 200,000 gallons of oil. Two days ago, the Magellan pipeline in Worth county, Iowa, spilled 138,000 gallons of oil onto private land. In 2017, there were 29 oil spills according to the Wikipedia article on the subject. There may have been others not listed in that source.

Oil spills are a disaster, and when those spills pollute the water sources for a community, or a series of communities along a major river, they become inexcusable. No company has the right to profit at the cost of so much dislocation and suffering of innocent citizens.

This is especially true for people who derive their livelihoods in some way or other from the polluted land or water. The Native Americans who are now confined to the reservations to be transited by the DAPL have traditionally used the rivers there for literally millennia to transport their food source, the buffalo which they hunt. How will they eat now if the buffalo are floated downriver in waters contaminated with oil?

Which brings up the question of treaty rights. Native Americans were confined by treaty to the most unproductive lands on the continent. Now, with oil companies threatening their territories, where else are they supposed to go? Their treaties imposed solemn obligations on the US government, obligations which almost uniformly were ignored.

This is a national disgrace.

I hope you will deny permission for any oil company to build pipelines on native land without the free and express permission of the tribe which owns that land.

Cordially, Romi Elnagar, natural-born US citizen Baton Rouge, Louisiana
