With Trump’s Executive Order to complete the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) this is an all-hands-on-deck moment to bankrupt this poisonous project now.
We have a plan to kill the DAPL before Trump can save it. As of January 1, the DAPL has been in breach of contract to its oil company clients and the Big Banks who are financing its construction.
We can starve the DAPL of the dirty money it needs to survive. Join us in demanding three of DAPL’s most critical funders – TD Bank, Citibank, and Wells Fargo – pull funding from the project now and kill the Dakota Access Pipeline for good.
Out of the 17 banks directly funding the pipeline, we’ve identified Citi, TD, and Wells Fargo as the most vulnerable. Citibank has the largest stake in the project, with the most to lose if it decides to stay aboard this sinking ship. TD Bank is a Canadian bank that consistently paints itself as especially devoted to Indigenous people. Wells Fargo is still raw from the discovery of a massive fraudulent account scheme, which earned them over $190 million in fines in September; plus, cities like Seattle are introducing legislation to divest from Wells Fargo over their DAPL financing, which would cost the bank BILLIONS.
Laws and leaders can change at any moment. Only one thing is certain: no money, no DAPL. Send a message straight to the Investor Relations teams at these banks: divest from DAPL immediately.
