Hi John –<br>
<br>
President Trump took executive action yesterday encouraging the Army Corps of
Engineers to override environmental review and speed up construction of the
Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation. His
action is a slap in the face to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and water
protectors.<br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Any
day now, law enforcement may try to disperse water protectors with
unnecessary and dangerous use of force.</span></font></b></strong> But North
Dakota has a new governor – and a chance to avoid the mistakes of its last governor.<br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a
href="https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/gcibaSWCfQBPGeHEEnEQRaaOWaDCCXiaaaaSNM9BMISJAvaa?m=9@tBsAs&m=bwZv_U6hzW0kpg2km.Uwe&t=Z&5="
target="_blank"><font color="#3a7cc2"><span style='color:#3A7CC2'>Call North
Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and urge him to do everything in his power to
remove the road blockade and prevent police violence against Standing Rock
water protectors.</span></font></a></span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>With
resilience, water protectors have already endured militarized crackdowns,
police abuse, and daily intimidation – simply for defending their water
rights.</span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
All eyes were on Standing Rock late last year as unwarranted armored vehicles
rolled in. Law enforcement used automatic rifles, sound cannons, and
concussion grenades against water protectors. <strong><b><font face=Arial><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>An estimated 300 protesters were
injured in November when police in riot gear used water cannons for hours in
subfreezing weather to disperse them.</span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
Personnel and equipment pouring in from over 75 law enforcement agencies from
around the country and National Guard troops created a battlefield-like
atmosphere at Standing Rock. <strong><b><font face=Arial><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Escalated police militarization was
used to intimidate and silence water protectors’ free speech and their right
to protest a pipeline that passes near sovereign territory.</span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
<strong><b><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a
href="https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/gcibaSWCfQBPGeHEEnEQRaaOWaDCCXiaaaaSNM9BMISJAvaa?m=9@tBsAs&m=bwZv_U6hzW0kpg2km.Uwe&t=d&5="
target="_blank"><font color="#3a7cc2"><span style='color:#3A7CC2'>Tell
Governor Burgum not to make the former governor’s grave mistakes in
sanctioning the abuse of water protectors.</span></font></a></span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
A whopping 253,000 ACLU supporters called on the Justice Department to
investigate possible constitutional and federal law violations by law
enforcement at the Dakota Access pipeline. We teamed up with Amnesty
International, CREDO Action, and National Council of Jewish Women to deliver
that demand to the Justice Department in December.<br>
<br>
Now we need you again. Make this crucial call to Governor Burgum – <strong><b><font
face=Arial><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a
href="https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/gcibaSWCfQBPGeHEEnEQRaaOWaDCCXiaaaaSNM9BMISJAvaa?m=9@tBsAs&m=bwZv_U6hzW0kpg2km.Uwe&t=a&5="
target="_blank"><font color="#3a7cc2"><span style='color:#3A7CC2'>tell him to
keep water protectors safe from police violence.</span></font></a></span></font></b></strong><br>
<br>
Thanks for standing in solidarity,<br>
<strong><b><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Anthony
