THE LATEST ON DAPL

In June 2017, a federal court ruled that the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) was illegally approved. The court is currently deciding whether or not to shut the pipeline off as the U.S. Army Corps under Trump attempts to bring the pipeline into compliance.  In a groundswell of support, communities, tribes, and cities are divesting billions from banks that financed the DAPL. San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Alameda, and Santa Monica have voted to move their money out of Wall Street, and campaigns are active in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, D.C., Minneapolis/St. Paul, Utah, and more.

 If you take a closer look at US Bank’s 2017 Environmental Responsibility Policy, you’ll see they have only committed to cease “project financing.” There’s the rub- despite this new policy, U.S Bank continues to provide hundreds of millions of dollars of corporate financing to pipeline companies for general use, including pipeline construction.
