Climate First!: D.C. action against Dakota Access Pipeline, Mon., Nov. 14th (and Tues., Nov. 15)
In solidarity with the Native Americans in their fight against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, Climate First! will run a direct action against Citibank on Monday, Nov. 14, 2016. In our peaceful action, we will tell Citibank -- one of the main lenders to the company that is building the pipeline -- that it must respect the concerns of Native Americans regarding their water supply and sacred lands, as well as people everywhere regarding a stable climate.
After meeting for a quick training, we will walk a short distance to a nearby branch (or two) of Citibank in downtown Washington, D.C. for the action.
MEETING LOCATION: meet at SW corner of Farragut Square (17th & I, NW) at 11:30 am. Both Farragut North (Red Line) and Farragut West (Orange, Silver, & Blue Lines) Metro Stations are very close to the park. After meeting for a quick training, we will walk to a nearby branch (or two) of Citibank for the action.
MISC INFO: Dress for the weather and bring water/snacks. Bring signs for a fun and peaceful action that will occur rain or shine.
